Despite early optimism for South Africa's economic growth, mounting challenges, including political tensions within the Government of National Unity, evolving (and sometimes devolving) diplomatic relations with the US, and service delivery concerns in key metropolitan areas, have led economists to adjust their growth forecasts downward. This shift is placing considerable strain on vulnerable sectors, which now face the dual pressures of an uncertain economic climate and the accelerating transition toward a tech-driven future that could fundamentally reshape industries and employment patterns.
"As South Africa grapples with deepening social and economic challenges, mental health must remain a priority," says Mehnaaz Olla, Manager of the MANCOSA School of Healthcare (SOH). Addressing these concerns through targeted support and awareness initiatives will be crucial in enabling individuals and businesses to navigate this evolving landscape with resilience.
