Black Friday has become one of the biggest retail events on the South African calendar. What began as a single day of discounted shopping has evolved into weeks of deals. Retailers and e-tailers now promote offers across online and brick-and-mortar channels throughout Cyber Monday. Some even run ‘Black November’ campaigns.

We know where the jobs are, and we know our young people are eager to work. So why aren’t we connecting the dots? South Africa has 200,000 agricultural jobs waiting to be filled. We also have a thriving Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector. This sector includes call centres, customer service, data processing and back-office administration. It can absorb entry-level workers at scale.
