South Africa’s next decade will be written by the young. Yet right now more than six in every ten South Africans aged 15–24 are unable to find work, and millions have lost faith in the ballot box. Overall turnout slumped to 46 percent in the last local-government elections, while fewer than half of registered voters aged 18-29 showed up for the 2024 national polls.

South Africa’s next decade will be written by the young.
Yet right now more than six in every ten South Africans aged 15–24 are unable to find work, and millions have lost faith in the ballot box. Overall turnout slumped to 46 percent in the last local-government elections, while fewer than half of registered voters aged 18-29 showed up for the 2024 national polls.
Project Future is a self-funded civic-tech initiative that harnesses artificial intelligence to:
- Equip podcasters, streamers, community journalists and influencers with instant, data-driven story ideas and social-media toolkits.
- Analyse the issues that resonate with 18- to 28-year-olds and pinpoint misinformation in real time.
- Mobilise youth audiences with clear voter-registration journeys, hyper-local election facts and actionable calls to vote in 2026/27 (local) and 2029 (national) elections.
Why it matters
When young people vote, corrupt leaders are shown the door and merit can finally trump patronage.
Our Artificial Intelligence platform turns frustration into facts, facts into content, and content into collective action.
