revealed that young unemployed South Africans were spending around R1,300 a month on looking for work, with over R464 of this on internet costs. For many, accessing information, job opportunities and learning comes at a high data cost, especially given that youth unemployment sits at around 60%.
“Over one million students use the Moya app, taking advantage of access to over 40 educational apps, and nine job search and assistance apps when they are ready to enter the job market,” Bednall says. Every day, 14,000 Moya users take advantage of Adzuna for job searches; 5,000 use the Job Starter virtual career coach; 6,000 visit the Tshepo 1 million Gauteng Provincial Government youth empowerment initiative; 5,000 visit the National Youth Development Agency site; and 3,000 use Ask Gogo, a job classified portal.
“With our data-free innovative solution and the support of a growing ecosystem of business partners, we have created a supportive platform for millions of South Africa’s young people to participate in the opportunities and knowledge that exists in the digital economy,” he adds.
