These include the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention and the Presidential Employment Stimulus, during an event held in Pretoria, Gauteng province.

Ramaphosa assured young people that government efforts are ongoing to secure more lasting job opportunities for the country’s youth.

"I am delighted that it is through you, young people, that we are doing this. Yes, I know that your own situation is not the most ideal. We are working very hard to create more permanent positions for you in many, many ways in the economy. But when government is dealing with this problem, it also initiates programmes like this one," said Ramaphosa.
