Street entrepreneurship eases the burden of unemployment in countries across Africa, and should be encouraged by government and society. This emerged from a youth employment imbizo hosted in the Eastern Cape by ACTIVATE! Change Drivers in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
The imbizo, hosted in partnership with Mdantsane youth hub, Kasi Konversations, curated a program that was designed to educate and engage on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), economic growth, youth employment and the future of the township economy in the next few years and beyond. By bringing leaders in government, business, civil society, activism, and in the creative space together with other innovative young people, the Imbizo explored a variety of topics and challenges facing young people.
