The article mentions:

> the solution is relatively available - get youth to first complete high school and then be equipped with skills they can use to earn a living

But is it? Does SA actually have lots of jobs waiting for post-high school people? With requirements which are not trainable in a few months to people who haven't completed high school?

I'm finding it hard to get answers with public statistics. Looking at https://tradingeconomics.com/south-africa/unemployed-persons for example it seems like SA lost a few million of both unemployed and employees people last year...
