What is really happening?
The South African government has just dropped a game-changing initiative: a once-off grant of R12,500 for unemployed youth aged 18 to 35. It’s not just money. It’s a vote of confidence in your potential.
Whether you’re a hustler with a side gig, a visionary with a community upliftment idea, or someone itching to break free from the cycle of unemployment, this grant is designed for you.
Why is matters?
Youth unemployment in South Africa is sitting at a staggering 46.5%. That’s not just a statistic. It’s a wake-up call. The Youth Grant 2025 is a bold step toward flipping the script and giving young people the tools to build their own futures.
