Dear Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science and Technology,

It is with great emphasis as parents who invested in our children's education that we wish the committee would take into consideration how stressful the job seeking and not finding a placement has been for our children. Close to 8 years, searching for a platform that would give enough experience to better secure the position which is suitable for her. As parents we are then left with a huge task in our hands of being emotional there for our frustrated children, they want to study further but the lack the motivation thereof because what they currently have has not proven to be sufficient.

The news have been covering youth suicide cases and the number is increasing badly...my wish as one of the affect parents who has a post graduate with BSc in internet Communication, one of the scarce skills in south africa but can't get placed...please help us heal our children emotionally, mentally so they can be better leaders and parents.
