South Africa’s lockdown restrictions are easing in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, but its impact on the economy will be long-lasting and challenging, and it remains an important time for business, government, educators, nongovernment organisations and other stakeholders to uplift the development of the country’s youth, says professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). PwC Southern Africa CEO Shirley Machaba says that because young people are particularly susceptible to the socioeconomic ramifications of the pandemic, now is a critical juncture for business, educators, government and other stakeholders to reflect on the consequences of the pandemic and consider bolstering efforts and initiatives to find ways to help young people.
