Growth prospects for Gauteng’s economy post Covid-19: Youth entrepreneurship and employment.
Gauteng’s Covid-19 response: Did the province get its planning right on healthcare and societal behaviour?
Progress made by the Gauteng Department of Education to address youth employment through skills development.
