Synopsis: Vodcast/podcast

The story is about a young talented and creative young man by the name of Mkhondo Kwanda who is a student at the university of Johannesburg, from Eastern Cape.He is tackling the issue of unemployment through entrepreneurship. He started his entrepreneurial journey at an early age and was encouraged by his father to create employment instead of working for someone else. Nevertheless, he started a business for tenders which involves cleaning windows, cutting grass as well as building houses. He is also a videographer that volunteers to work at SABC whenever he is free and a technology enthusiast. 

The story is newsworthy because it tackles an issue of unemployment. It provides people more especially youth with initiatives they can take to tackle the issue of unemployment. The story is providing knowledge that empowers youth to start their own initiatives that are legal instead of participating in illegal activities. Moreover, it is inspiring because the initiatives do not require a lot of money to start, and at some point, it requires no money to clean windows and build houses since the resources can be provided by the employer. Therefore, the story provides solutions to unemployment through knowledge sharing and empowers youth.
