[Statement] Statement by Deputy Minister in The Presidency, @NoncebaMhlauli, on the occasion of the media briefing on the Presidential Youth Employment Initiative (PYEI) 3rd Quarter Report The PYEI remains a cornerstone of our national efforts to address the persistent challenge of youth unemployment, ensuring that young South Africans have access to meaningful economic opportunities. Launched in 2020 by President Ramaphosa, the PYEI is a direct response to the challenge that too many young people are not transitioning from learning to earning. The intervention sets out priority actions which together seek to stimulate and aggregate demand and provide a seamless mechanism for young people to be linked to the opportunities generated and receive support appropriate to their context and pathway.https://www.gov.za/news/speeches/deputy-minister-nonceba-mhlauli-pyei-q3-report-12-feb-2025 #pyei #servicedeliveryza
