DA Emfuleni urges urgent action on youth unemployment
The message from the DA's youth said youth unemployment rate at an alarming 43.2%, is not just a number but it reflects a national crisis.
'Today, on Workers' Day, the Democratic Alliance (DA) Emfuleni Central Constituency stands in solidarity with millions of young South Africans who face an uncertain future due to crippling unemployment,' supported by Dady Mollo, DA Constituency Head – Emfuleni Central, the young people said.
They expressed their frustrations and further said that in this country they see young graduate whose qualifications cannot open doors in a stagnant economy, a breadwinner robbed of dignity after losing a job he once relied on, and young women forced into vulnerability in the absence of opportunities.
'This is the direct result of decades of ANC mismanagement, corruption, and failed economic policies. While the ANC government continues to make empty promises, young South Africans are left to bear the consequences.'
The young people said that the DA is fighting for bold economic reforms that:
Encourage investment and support small businesses
Equip young people with skills aligned to market needs.
Cut red tape and grow an inclusive economy that delivers jobs.

How ANC hopes to stop Trump's sanctions
A US House Committee has passed a bill aimed at reassessing the United States' bilateral relationship with South Africa. Image: Armand Hough /Independent Newspapers THE ANC has expressed its intention to vigorously oppose the Trump administration's attempt to isolate it by imposing sanctions against the party after US lawmakers voted to advance a bill that proposes reviewing the relationship with South Africa. The US-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025 was now to be sent to the full House of Representatives, where parliamentarians will vote for it. However many bills at this stage never go to a vote, reports Reuters. The committee's approval took the bill a step further and underscored tensions between Washington and Pretoria as South Africa seeks to fend off a looming 30% U.S. tariff and counter President Donald Trump's false claims of white "genocide". The bill was introduced by US Congressman Ronny Jackson to punish ANC leaders for supporting America's enemies, such as China, Russia, and Iran. 'South Africa has brazenly abandoned its relationship with the United States to align with China, Russia, Iran, and terrorist organisations, a betrayal that demands serious consequences,' Daily Investor quoted Jackson. In the Bill, Jackson claims that the South African government's foreign policy actions have long ceased to reflect its stated stance of nonalignment, and now directly favour China, the Russian Federation, and Hamas, a known proxy of Iran, and thereby undermine US national security and foreign policy interests. Certain ANC leaders, who are predicted to be the target of the bill, have been accused of mismanaging South Africa's state resources, which led to the poor performance of state-owned entities such as Eskom, resulting in load shedding, and Transnet's failure to operate train transport. President Cyril Ramaphosa could be among the first leaders to be impacted by the sanctions for publicly accusing the Israeli government of committing genocide against residents of Gaza on October 14, 2023. The ANC is now pinning its hope on the Democrats, who opposed the apartheid government, to protect its leaders, including Ramaphosa. ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said: 'There are many Democrats, including those who were part of the anti-apartheid movements, who will stand up to caution Americans against supporting a president (Trump) who wants to censor and undermine the sovereignty of other nations.' Bhengu-Motsiri said the ANC would vigorously oppose an attempt to isolate it from the rest of the nation by reimposing sanctions against it. 'Remember, we come from a history where sanctions were imposed against the apartheid system. 'But also the ANC was isolated by some of those countries that were working closely with the apartheid government, including the United States,' she said. Weighing on the matter, Good Party secretary general Brett Herron said that the passing of the Bill was another blow to the country's hopes to be able to undo punitive trade tariffs set for introduction by the US next week. 'The US and SA are sovereign nations led by politicians with a mandate from their citizens. The US is an important trading partner, with more than enough economic muscle to hurt South Africa - an important consideration. 'SA's options, in response, are to back down or double down on its values. Backing down would be a poor choice. The first move the President should make is to appoint a trusted ambassador skilled in diplomacy. As stated last week, a briefing from the SA President on developments in the relationship with the US is overdue.' Cape Times

Identify a new KFC site and earn a R60k finder's fee
SA has one KFC outlet for every 58,000 people, but demand for finger lickin' good fried chicken still outstrips supply. That's why the brand is asking all South Africans to help it identify new potential sites to open even more locations. In return, until the end of 2025 it is offering a finder's fee of R60,000 for site recommendations that lead to a successfully opened restaurant or drive-through. KFC is the one of the fastest-growing quick service restaurant (QSR) brands in SA, Africa and the world. Globally, it has more than 30,000 restaurants in over 150 countries, employing nearly a million people. Its 1,500 restaurants in 22 African markets employ more than 40,000 people from SA in the south to Senegal in the west and Mauritius in the east. It has close to 1,200 outlets in SA alone. KFC Africa's GM Akhona Qengqe says the brand's transformative impact as a growth igniter has had a profound impact on the communities where it operates, improving local infrastructure, boosting the economy and creating employment. 'We create sustainable wealth and employment across Africa,' she says. 'Each restaurant creates an average of 35 direct jobs, provides a modern hub for communities to connect, and delivers high-quality meals made with the best ingredients.' Qengqe says KFC Africa is also a respected leader in social impact, women empowerment and incubating talent. 'We make an indelible mark in the fight against child hunger through our Add Hope initiative; our focus on equity and inclusion means 60% of our team members are women; and the unparalleled opportunities we offer staff for education and career progression have created a robust and globally sought-after talent pool.' Growth and innovation SA's QSR sector leads the world in terms of growth and innovation. It was valued at $2.7bn in 2018 and is projected to reach $4.9bn (about R87bn) by 2026, driven by urbanisation and growing demand. KFC's track record of growth means it leads the industry in new builds and has the most sustainable footprint, with the fewest restaurant closures across all markets. Every new restaurant is built to KFC's Building Green global standards, with 11 'must-haves' to create a healthy and environmentally friendly environment. KFC is constantly exploring how to push the boundaries to reduce energy and water consumption in each restaurant, and is well on track to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030. All KFC packaging is made from certified sustainable sources and is fully recyclable.

Nkabane's dismissal shows performance is finally being prioritised
Poor leadership, policy missteps, and stakeholder neglect made Nkabane's position in higher education untenable.

(Photo by Gallo Images/Fani Mahuntsi) There was little surprise this week when President Cyril Ramaphosa fired higher education and training minister Nobuhle Nkabane as her position became untenable. She misled parliament in a portfolio committee regarding the appointments of the Sector Education and Training Authority board. Her short stint at the helm of one of the most complex and politically sensitive portfolios was also marred by administrative missteps, a breakdown in communication with key stakeholders, and a failure to provide clear, strategic leadership during a critical time for the sector. While Cabinet reshuffles often raise questions about internal party dynamics, this decision appears to have been driven by performance and public outcry, rather than politics. Nkabane inherited a department already under immense strain. South Africa's higher education sector faces a multitude of challenges: from underfunding and student debt to overcrowded institutions and a widening gap between education and employment. ALSO READ: Why the ANC remains a safe haven for corruption Rather than stepping into the role with decisiveness and clarity, Nkabane struggled to manage the operational demands of the department. Her most notable failure was her mishandling of the crisis surrounding the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas). The rollout of a new direct payment system, using third-party service providers, led to widespread delays, disbursement errors, and student protests across the country. Despite repeated warnings from student unions and technical experts, the department failed to take corrective action or adequately communicate with affected students. Nkabane's public appearances during this period often came across as defensive, reinforcing perceptions that she was out of depth. Compounding the Nsfas debacle was a broader failure to engage constructively with the very stakeholders she was meant to lead. Student organisations such as the South African Union of Students accused her of ignoring urgent meeting requests during protest actions. ALSO READ: Parliament concludes Seta panel never existed Several university vice-chancellors also reported difficulty engaging with her office on campus safety, infrastructure development and funding allocations. At a time when decisive leadership and open communication were essential, Nkabane remained inaccessible and silent, allowing tensions to escalate on campuses. Perhaps most telling, however, was her inability to articulate a long-term vision for the department. Her public addresses were laced with vague commitments to transformation and inclusion, but these sentiments were rarely backed by concrete policy or institutional reform. No significant advances were made in addressing curriculum reform, expanding digital access, or tackling the mismatch between higher education output and labour market needs. Her leadership simply did not inspire confidence. In contrast, the promotion of Buti Manamela to the ministerial position represents a return to experience and substance. Having served as deputy minister for several years, Manamela has built a solid reputation for being hands-on, accessible and knowledgeable. ALSO READ: Five things you need to know about the new higher education minister Buti Manamela Ramaphosa's decision to remove Nkabane and elevate Manamela should be viewed as more than a political adjustment – it is a statement about the value of competence in public office. For far too long, Cabinet appointments have been seen as rewards for loyalty rather than results. In this instance, the move suggests a growing recognition that performance must take precedence, especially in departments that impact millions of young South Africans and the future of the country's economy. While this shift is welcome, it must not stop here. The education sector requires leadership that is responsive, accountable and visionary. In firing Nkabane and promoting Manamela, Ramaphosa has taken a step towards restoring integrity and functionality in higher education. The hope now is that this signals the beginning of a broader commitment to putting the right people in the right places – for the right reasons.
