Workers’ Day: Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future
Today, 1st May, we mark Workers’ Day, not just a public holiday, but a moment to pause, reflect and honour the resilience, struggle and contributions of workers who have built this nation brick by brick.
From the factory workers who stood strong during apartheid, to the nurses, farm labourers, taxi drivers, teachers and security guards who keep our workplace alive today.
This day reminds us of the value of every job and every individual who shows up to build South Africa’s economy and future.
It’s a tribute to the power of unity and a reminder that many of the rights we enjoy today were earned through sweat, sacrifice and solidarity.
For the youth of South Africa, in the townships, rural areas and cities across the country, Workers' Day is a challenge and a call to purpose.
It’s a chance to see the dignity in work, no matter the uniform or title.
Whether it’s the domestic worker waking up at 4 a.m. or the street vendor pushing a trolley of goods, every worker threads something important into our national fabric.
So today, be intentional: thank the people serving our nation, learn about our labour history and reflect on how you want to contribute when your moment arrives.
We know many of you are in a season of searching, by applying for jobs, upskilling or figuring out your path.
Let this day reignite your determination.
Your effort to find employment isn't just about personal income, it’s about becoming part of the engine that drives South Africa forward.
You are today’s problem solvers, digital builders, creatives and entrepreneurs.
When you find that job, launch that side hustle or start your own venture, you’re not just earning, you’re contributing to the fiscus, shaping the economy and writing your chapter in our ongoing story of nation-building.
And if you’re still in transition, remember: being unemployed doesn't make you invisible or unworthy, it means you’re preparing.
Use today to take one step forward, however small.
Update your CV, take an online course, explore new opportunities or simply set a goal.
You are the generation that must carry the torch forward.
Workers’ Day is not just about looking back, it's about looking forward and preparing to step into your role as a contributor, not just a consumer but a creator of South Africa’s economic growth and future.
So as we honour the workers who came before us, let’s also honour the potential within ourselves.
Be intentional and purposeful today.
Be relentless.
Let this Workers’ Day be more than a rest day, let it be a reset day.
A day to reflect, to recommit and to rise with renewed vision.
The country needs your voice, your energy and your boldness.
Your story is part of the future we’re all working toward, and it begins now.

THE SPACE ECONOMY AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH
Industry turning point. Although the space sector faces budget cuts and recent downsizing, SpaceNews reports that there are encouraging signs of growth. Venture capital continues to flow, there is increasing demand for satellites, and analysts project robust growth in the long term—particularly at companies that offer imaging and communications services. One expert suggests that this is a critical moment for the industry as it balances risk aversion in the short term with confidence in longer-term economic growth. [SpaceNews
Career concerns. The commercial space industry may be booming, but hiring and retaining more skilled workers is critical to the sector’s lasting success, experts state in Inc. Unlike in other industries, such as tech, the commercial space sector offers few clear paths to career advancement, one CEO shares. Space industry leaders may need to consider offering more competitive salaries and following the lead of the expanding AI industry by creating certification programs, which can nurture younger, qualified talent. [Inc.]
Space exploration’s next era. How might the space industry change over the next decade? McKinsey Senior Partner Ryan Brukardt and coauthors say that the global space economy could be worth $1.8 trillion by 2035, up from $630 billion in 2023. Some experts think that with rocket launches becoming much less costly, more people, along with thousands more satellites, could be travelling to outer space than ever before. However, that could also mean more space debris and an increased risk of collisions.
Promoting technical careers. Executives anticipate a thriving space economy in the coming years, as both countries and companies aim to expand into space. For one industry leader, investing in a diverse workforce is critical for the space economy to sustain momentum: “One of the most important things we can do is to continue to invest in talent and encourage young people to go into fields like aerospace,” she reflects. Visit “The future of space: It’s getting crowded out there,” part of McKinsey’s The Next Normal series, for aerospace leaders’ visions of outer space’s future.

5 Signs Your Job Isn’t Right For You (and Exactly What to Do About It): by Jean Kang
1. You’re not feeling challenged
Try this: List your top 3 professional growth areas. Are your current projects addressing them? If not, ask your manager for stretch assignments aligned with your goals.
2. You’re not growing or learning
Try this: Every quarter, schedule a "growth review" meeting with yourself. Identify what new skills you gained or need to acquire. Proactively request training opportunities if you're coming up short.
3. Your work lacks visible impact
Try this: Each month, document your key accomplishments. If your contributions aren’t clearly tied to meaningful outcomes (align to company goals), realign your projects in your next 1:1 to ensure visibility and impact.
4. You don’t align with your company’s values
Try this: Print out your company’s stated values. Reflect on how they show up in your day-to-day experiences. If there's a mismatch, trust your intuition because misalignment signals deeper issues.
5. Your contributions aren't recognized
Try this: Start a “wins doc” where you track praise, shoutouts, and measurable impact. Use it in performance reviews to advocate for yourself and spotlight your value. If your contributions still go unnoticed, it might be time to explore roles where your work is seen.
If the answers are NO, it’s time to start looking.
Because NO person or job is worth your mental health
