Youth Day | Political literacy amongst South African youth

Fifty years after the Soweto Uprising, South Africa's youth continue to face challenges that shape their future, from unemployment and poor service delivery, to limited economic opportunities.

However, they will once again be called upon to help shape the country's future at the ballot box, during Local Government Elections in November.

As the country commemorates Youth day, SABC News took to the streets to examine the state of political literacy among South Africa's youth.

SABC News Reporter, Musa Mhlongo filed this report.
