The theme is Skills for the Changing World – Empowering Youth for Meaningful Economic Participation

16/06/2025

Today, we honour the fearless spirit of the youth of 1976 – young people who stood up, spoke out, and sparked change.

Their courage paved the way. Your voice can shape the future.

To every dreamer, doer, and change-maker: you are the movement. Keep questioning. Keep creating. Keep going. Because when the youth rise, the nation rises. 💛

Happy Youth Day, South Africa!

The commemoration of Youth Month and particularly Youth Day on 16 June pays tribute to the 1976 Soweto Uprisings. This day serves as a reminder of our nation’s young people who boldly protested against the imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction.

The 2025 Youth Month focuses on promoting education and skills development for youth and linking them with economic opportunities.

Skills in artisans, healthcare, physical, mathematical, engineering sciences, and technology fields are in demand. We encourage young people to pursue some of these skills, as they are required for building our economy.
