Project’s exigency
The introduction of social media has exposed an urgent need for employment opportunities, particularly for the Black race. Over the recent years, many Black graduates have been posting their graduation pictures and unemployment situations in an effort to beg for jobs through social media. Through their stories, they have implied that both the private and public sectors do not give Black graduates job opportunities. Twitter, for example, has been the leading platform on which Black graduates beg for employment opportunities. Prior to the social media excessive usage, the masses depended on statistics released by either the government or private research companies; thus, not allowing the public to closely scrutinise the unemployment rate of graduates. However, this free access to live, valid and reliable statistics has also raised a debate and a blame game within the two racial groups — Blacks and Whites.
Currently, there has not been anyone who has publicly taken responsibility or accountability for the increasing unemployment rate that Black graduates face, hence the blame game, and the lack of a properly defined root cause. According to Kaoru Ishikawa’s fishbone diagram* claims that one must define various factors that could be the cause before commencing with a development plan.
Black people in this research are mainly Africans and do not include Coloureds, Indians or Chinese.
