Entrepreneurship seen as solution to South Africa's unemployment crisis
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Many people in South Africa do not have jobs. It is one of the biggest
problems facing the country’s young adults.
To make money, many young people are starting their own businesses. But it's not easy for everyone.
South Africa ended Apartheid in 1994. The apartheid system kept blacks and other nonwhites separate
from whites. The government set a goal to create new jobs and have a strong economy after apartheid
ended. However, since then, new jobs have not developed. 25.2 percent of South Africans are unemployed.
The number is up 1.1 percent from last year. There are now more than 5 million people without jobs. Some
people have stopped looking for work. If they are included, the unemployment number rises to around 35
percent.
"I Can't Wait"
Sibusiso Ngcobr has grown impatient. The 24-year-old says he cannot wait for the government to make a
job for him.
“It is hard to find a job. You cannot sit because your brains would blast out of your mind, you cannot sit
and do nothing." He adds, "I can’t wait. I have to eat, I have brothers to support, I have a family to feed.”
He is finding ways to create his own opportunities. Many other South Africans are doing the same.
Ngcobr started his own company last year. He is selling goods in Johannesburg.
Ngcobr says that the government tries to help small-business owners. However, all of the rules make it
complicated. Ngcobr says, "Coming from a previously disadvantaged background, you don't have security,
your house is just a small house, then you go to the bank, you have a great brilliant idea." However, he says
that the banks need something from the borrower to secure the loan in case it cannot be paid back. That
something can be a piece of property, like a house. So a poor person like Ngcobr with no property has to
start from nothing.
The Waterless Shower
Ludwick Marishane also started from nothing. His first businesses began when he was a teenager. He lived
in a poor area in the north of South Africa. Some of Marishane's ideas failed. Then, he had an idea while
lying in the sun.

His friend did not want to take a bath and wondered why no one had invented way to avoid showering. A
few years later, Marishane created the Dry Bath Gel. The waterless shower product saves time. It also helps
those who do not have water.
Marishane wrote a business plan in his last year of high school. “I would have to use the local computer
café," he says. It cost about $2 an hour to use the Internet. Marishane says, "My allowance was $5, that was
my pocket money and lunch money.”
He sent the plan to 80 possible investors. However, Marishane says none were willing to take a risk. He
was a young inventor with a product that they thought would mostly help the poor.
Marishane says, “I looked at different sources. The different banking loans and the different development
loans that government had made available in South Africa." He says that it was hard to get a loan.
Marishane also says, "At the same time, my business, it wasn’t a bankable idea." So he entered his product
into competitions. Marishane slowly gained money to develop his business.
Education Is Key
Today, his company claims to have provided almost 446,000 products. The company says that it has saved
over 35.6 million liters (9 million gallons) of water. That savings is important because South Africa has a
water crisis.
Marishane says education is one of the biggest advantages in starting a business. Jason Basel of Àkro
Organization agrees. His company helps young people start businesses. Basel says, “Entrepreneurship and
education, that’s how you solve unemployment. Full stop, there are no two ways about it."
Many of South Africa's youth dream of starting businesses. There is no lack of talent. What the country
needs are services to help make those dreams come true.
