Manzini emphasised the importance of education. She encouraged them to work hard and focus on their studies.
“As learners you must research and seek assistance through your teachers on which careers are in demand on the job market to curb the unemployment statistics. Education is the key to success and I am pleading with you all to not just study to get qualifications and apply for jobs. Consider studying courses that will enable you to start a business and create more jobs for others and fight unemployment together.”
