The rate of unemployment (state of being unemployed) in South Africa continues to rise yearly and the youth of South Africa continue to suffer at the hands of the leading Party, the African National Congress (ANC). This article adopts the Afrocentric theory to unpack the realities of the current state of employment in South Africa. The authors argue that it is currently uneasy for youth and tertiary graduates to get employment. Some of the reasons outlined in the article include favouritism, corruption and nepotism that continue to haunt the ANC almost three decades in power. The systematic politics of employment in South Africa does not favour the ordinary citizens in dire need of jobs. This article’s central argument is that government vacancies that are regularly advertised are not often awarded to deserving individuals, but individuals aligned to the ruling ANC party. Methodologically, this paper relied heavily on document study.

China's security concerns in Africa has recently become a subject of much academic debate. Most of the academic studies on this subject have wrongly assumed a continental standpoint, which does not take into contemplation the distinctive national captivates of China toward each distinctive African State. Such analytic discourse analysis were also heavily subjected to North [ern] angled perspectives as expressed in either liberal or realist contextual lens, views, and critics. Despite this, the Scholarly discourse on the security concerns of China towards Mali and South Sudan have not been proportionately apprehended. Based on the alternative Afrocentric perspective, this article seeks to employ Mali and South Sudan as test cases to critique the Security Concerns of China toward Mali and South Sudan. The central argument of this article is that, China's Security Concerns towards Mali and South Sudan can best be understood when located within the context of mineral resources complex. Methodologically, this article is based on document review and interdisciplinary discourse analysis in their comprehensive form.
