Throughout the MayiBuye iAfrica consultation process, we've heard the voices of our people loud and clear. The challenges are undeniable: a broken education-to-employment pipeline, rising unemployment, and a mismatch between what learners' study and what the job market needs.
The challenges we face are deeply rooted in our history. We know that apartheid was an exclusion in education,
We see this when we observe how our neighbouring countries, such as Zimbabweans, often excel better in work environments and outcompete South Africans, why? due to the uninterrupted quality of their education systems.
We cannot ignore this history. We must address it head-on by ensuring that every South African, regardless of their background, has access to the tools and opportunities that were once reserved for an elite few.
This is why Evision is committed to change. We believe that every South African, regardless of their background or economic status, deserves access to quality career guidance and opportunities.
To tackle unemployment at scale, we propose Ti Tivi for South African Labour Inteligence System a digital infrastructure that can track, align, and deploy talent according to national development priorities. Ti Tivi allows us to identify the talents, skills, and interests of learners across the country and align them with the current labour market demands. This collaboration with the department of labour will ensure that we strategically place individuals in careers where they thrive and contribute meaningfully to our economy.
We believe that those who can afford it can contribute, while those who cannot will still benefit from these resources. Together, we can create a South African Labor and Employment Intelligence System, accurately placing individuals in fields that match their skills and passions from an early age.
In closing, we view the Mayibuye consultation process as more than a conversation. It's an invitation to build systems that work, to empower communities that are often overlooked, and to make decisions today that create dignity, direction, and opportunity for generations to come
