Cape Town — President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a bold financial injection of R2 trillion in an attempt to battle youth unemployment.
Ramaphosa addressed the 2023 Freedom Day celebrations in Klerksdorp, North West where he said many more gains stand to be realised to give true meaning to the concept of freedom, reported SAgovnews.
This year, the 27th of April marks the 29th anniversary of South Africa’s first democratic elections.
Freedom Day is commemorated every year with the purpose of honouring the heroes and heroines who fought for freedom and paved the way for the democratic society we live in today.

“As elders, let us listen to the hopes and dreams of the young and take their concerns seriously,” said President Ramaphosa.
EWN reported that Ramaphosa also urged citizens to take part in the 2024 elections by voting.
