# President Cyril Ramaphosa says young South Africans today face a different challenge than the youth of 1976, finding their place in an economy that has for too long kept its doors closed to them. Tomorrow will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Youth Uprising. In his weekly newsletter, Ramaphosa says inclusive economic growth is essential in tackling youth unemployment in a meaningful way. He says one of the most successful programmes has been the Presidential Employment Stimulus, which has created in excess of 2.5 million work and livelihood opportunities.
Ramaphosa says SA needs to become a place where young people find their place in an inclusive economy
