Welcome to my very first issue of Future SA magazine, where innovation, culture, and the dreams of a generation collide. But first, kudos to my predecessor, Tashne Singh, who brilliantly carried the torch for several years …
We’ re living through a time of rapid change. Artificial intelligence is shaping our jobs, climate change is reshaping our world, and social media is reshaping … well, everything. It’ s easy to feel overwhelmed. But here’ s the truth: Gen Z-ers and millennials are not just surviving the chaos; like other generations before us, we’ re building something new from it.
Future SA is more than just a magazine. It’ s a space where we talk honestly about the future we’ re stepping into – and the one we want to create. You’ ll find stories here about young South Africans launching startups from their bedrooms, in the process disrupting outdated industries, fighting for justice, and redefining success on their own terms. You’ ll also find loads of tips and tricks for surviving and thriving in your studies and your career.
This issue will be your inside track on matric study hacks, the bursaries available in SA and abroad, how to ace your university and other tertiary institution applications, and the pros and cons of taking a gap year. We also break down complex issues like unemployment, skills development, mental health, and the lack of transformation in higher education. No filters. No gatekeeping. Just smart, relevant content that speaks to your reality – and offers solutions.
This magazine exists because you deserve a platform that gets it, gets YOU … one that knows the hustle, the hope, the burnout, and the buzz, bang, and boot of being young right now.
So – whether you’ re figuring out your life’ s purpose, your next move, or just catching your breath, Future SA is here for it. And for you.
