“…Equally in this study, participants indicated that they left their native country for betterment of their life. However, as they are illegal migrants, they find it difficult to find employment and alcohol helps them to relieve stress (Weyers 2012;Matlakala and Makhubele 2019). This study thus contributes to already existing broader knowledge that there is a clear association between alcohol abuse and stress.…”

“…A case in point, a study in Finland found that the Rwandan migrants engages in binge Subsequent to the above, migrants' abuse alcohol due to the number of outlets available in communities. On that note, high density of alcohol outlets contributes to higher consumptions of alcohol, in this instance, migrants (Connor, DeBord, Pretty, Oliver, Roth, Lees, Krieg, Rogers, Escalante, Toennis, Clark 2010;Matlakala and Makhubele 2019). The situation is dire in South Africa, as alcohol is easily available and affordable which offers migrants with variety of option to choose from (Peltzer, Ramlagan, Johnson, andPhaswana-Mafuya 2010, Osuafor, Maputle andAyiga 2016).…”

“…On that score, it could be deduced that the increment of pricing on alcohol leads to the decreases of consumptions (Anderson and Baumberg 2006). Even when that is the case, it has been reported that when youth fails to afford expensive alcohol, they resolve to cheaper alcohol, such as Blacklabel, that will maximise their intake (Gruenewald and Remer 2006;Matlakala 2018;Matlakala and Makhubele 2019).…”

Migrants’ youth are seen as one of the vulnerable populations in South Africa. This is largely due to the fact that they are seen as people who come to take job opportunities of the youth in the host country. In order to cope with their fear and stress, migrants indulge in binge consumption of alcohol. It is in light of that that in this paper researchers aimed to accentuate alcohol abuse as a militating factor against the quality of life for migrants’ youth population in selected provinces of South Africa. The study adopted qualitative approach and case study design to highlight how alcohol is seen as a militating factor against quality of life. The study population was drawn from three provinces in South Africa using convenient sampling technique to sample three participants. Moreover, the data was collected telephonically in three selected provinces and analysed thematically. The findings indicate that due to the accessibility, availability, affordability and stress migrants’ youth indulge in binge consumption. Thus, researchers recommend that policymakers should make guidelines that will restrict mushrooming of alcohol outlets – be regulation to prohibit overcrowding of outlets in selected provinces of South Africa.

“…However, because sexual orientation and gender identification are less prone to be recorder during the time of death, there is never an accurate number of deaths among this community [22]. Findings have indicated depression, relationship problems and other life stressors are dominant in the LGBTQ+ community than people falling outside the community, especially those that less likely receive psychiatric treatment and are prone to abuse substances [25]. Thus, it can be deduced that sexual orientation is amongst the other risk factors of suicide amongst the youth.…”

Youth just like people of different age bands around the world face a multitude of challenges daily and continuously in their lives. For some of them, suicide is the ultimate answer to all their battles. Suicide continues to be on the rise for concern in South Africa and the entire world. Despite authors’ attempts to understand, conceptualise, and bring awareness about it, it seems inevitable. This paper was aimed at mapping the existing literature on psychosocial factors, associated with suicide amongst youth. The author used narrative as the research method. Data was collected from different databases with a trajectory of 10 years. The author used databases, such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Jstor and Sabinet African Journals. The author used purposive sampling in selecting relevant articles using keywords. Data was then analysed thematically using thematic content analysis. The study found that youth encounter a lot of challenges, categorised under social factors, such as family, and psychological risk factors, such as psychopathology, which ultimately led them to have suicide ideation or attempt. The paper recommends an incorporation of a topic in Life Orientation for pupils in High School in South Africa, which raise awareness on the issues of mental health and conscientize parents and or guardians in symposiums about psychosocial factors, associated with suicide. The study concludes that youth around the world indeed encounter multiple challenges. Researchers should fundamentally contemplate about the programmes or guidelines of dealing with emotions that may be evoked by several crises that the youth face to normalize them.
