'Modern Treatise' New Column "Mzansi Now" Expands Africa Coverage

Modern Treatise introduces a new weekly column, “Mzansi Now.” This separates South Africa into its own column, offering a 360-degree view of both parliamentary and provincial developments in the upper-income nation. In addition, the column looks at South Africa's geopolitical relationship with the rest of the world. The first release, “Mzansi Now: ‘Why EC Youth are Leaving Home,” covers the working population and the rise of unemployment. 

“Rising unemployment rates are exacerbated by the high cost of living. In the past two decades, entry-level salaries have remained stagnant across the nation while prices for essential goods have risen dramatically…many individuals between the ages of 18 and 35 have taken to inter-provincial migration in search of higher pay and better employment prospects.”

The column reflects Modern Treatise's expansion into the coverage of nations not well-covered for American audiences, broadening the African presence in global media. 

South Africa is experiencing a surge in modern development, making a significant impact both within its borders and internationally. By focusing on these dynamic changes, the column aims to provide readers with fresh perspectives and insights into the continent's evolving narrative.
