South Africa marks 50 years since Soweto uprising as youth face unemployment

Fifty years after the Soweto uprising, South Africa's Youth Day commemorations take place against a backdrop of rising frustration among young people. With official unemployment exceeding 32 percent, a new wave of anti-migrant protests has swept the country, targeting both documented and undocumented foreigners. Activists and struggle veterans warn that anger is being misdirected, arguing that failures of governance and economic transformation — not migration — are the root causes of persistent poverty and inequality.
