Highly Qualified Young Man Takes to the Streets to Find a Job, Mzansi Shows No Remorse and Hurls Insults

• People are going to extremes to find jobs and one qualified young man is using the streets for his job hunting
• A Twitter user has shared the job hunter's story and the post has gone viral with thousands of likes and retweets
• However, the comment section is filled with negativity as people feel the young man's qualifications are useless and that he is not taking the initiative to start his own business

Desperate times call for desperate measures. With the unemployment rate sky-rocketing in South Africa, one highly-qualified man has taken to the streets, armed with a cupboard sign and hope in his heart.

On the sign, the young man wrote:

Not asking for money, looking for work, please help.

He provides his contact details and says he is qualified in Financial Management and is currently studying towards a degree in BCom Law. He also has four years experience working in an accounts payable role.

In a tweet by @9ineti7even, the Twitter-user encourages people to share a picture of the young man standing with his sign.

The post reads:

"Let's make him trend."

It seems like the Twitter user's plan is working because the job hunter is trending and the post has over 8 000 retweets and 7 000 likes.

However, in a plot twist, the comments show a very hostile group of people who are picking on the young man's qualifications and his method of trying to find a job.

Let's dive into the murky comment section

@EmisangRadio:

"Open a law firm guy and make money from divorce settlement. Kante what did they teach you ko varsity?"

@Sphedube:

"I really wonder, so educated and uncreative those two don't add up. I would like to believe the more you are educated the more you are innovative to stand on your own feet..just education alone zizokhala."

@lordescobar101:

"Instead of training us to become dependent for life, why can't we be trained to be innovative, to create opportunities, to build from scratch instead of waiting to be spoon fed from what is being built?"

But it's not all doom and gloom for those who went on to tackle tertiary education. Briefly News previously reported on Gift Somakwabe, a 24-year-old graduate, who stands as an example to others, motivating those she encounters as her dedication and perseverance lead her to obtain her third degree.

It's no surprise to see that Somakwabe's road has not come to an end as she confronts the next challenge of getting her CIA designation and Master's.

Humility and compassion extend from Somakwabe as she fills up her undoubtedly busy schedule with a YouTube channel (Gift Somakwabe) already consisting of over 140 videos designed to educate others looking to cement their place in the world.
