🔥 “We Don’t Have an Unemployment Crisis — We Have an Unemployability Crisis.”In this powerful and provocative episode of The Mindscaped Podcast, Mohamed Kharwa returns to the studio for a raw, unfiltered conversation about South Africa’s education system, and it’s not pretty. From the shocking reading statistics to the collapse of critical thinking, we dive deep into how an entire generation is being left behind.We unpack why reading culture has died, how schools are producing paper qualifications instead of problem solvers, and why our real issue isn’t unemployment, it’s unemployability. This episode challenges everything we’ve been told about education, opportunity, and youth development in South Africa.
