"PART 1" 

began with a visit to 
『the Tembisa Township』
 near Johannesburg 
to meet inspiring young people

 ＠ the Youth Employment Services hub 
in Johannesburg

saw the incredible work of Yes4Youth, 
a business-led collaboration with government to create one million employment opportunities for young people. The non-profit believes often times getting a "first chance" can be the only stumbling block on the road to starting a career. They focus on disadvantaged people between 18 and 35 by providing work experience for a year. At the end of the programme, they have a CV, a reference letter and the experience to take on their next challenge. The initiative was launched last year by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

welcomed by Melody Campbell from the British High Commission and YES CEO Tashmia Ismail-Saville. 

“We have a massive youth employment problem in South Africa,” Tashmia Ismail-Saville tells T&C. “Legacies of apartheid have meant that communities like this have always been on the back end of education and healthcare so these development outcomes are lower. You have in a township six out ten people unemployed...Places like this are here to bring learning, knowledge, technologies into the community...give younger people who are in the community an idea of career pathways that they can build.”

Ismail-Saville added about the royal visit: “This kind of visit gives such momentum to our movement...It’s fantastic that they come to South Africa and visit this type of space, which is not always comfortable to do.”
  

walk up steps into the hub as they learn more about how it is helping youths into work in South Africa

 saw the work of Blossom Care Solutions. They are empowering and supporting women by training them to manufacture their own biodegradable sanitary pads 40% cheaper than the average market price. Statistics show that almost 60% of South African girls between 13-19 do not have regular access to sanitary products and as a result miss up to 25% of the school year.

spent time chatting with Mish - a local Masterchef winner who now runs his own catering business. Harry and Meghan sampled several of his delicious dishes

The entrepreneur said the surrounding area of local restaurants and shops have been helped with a supply of fresh produce

Harry said:
 "It’s moments like today and meeting all of you, that inspires us. Whether supporting young entrepreneurs, empowering women and girls, or challenging the issue of gender-based violence; whether it’s been planting trees, clearing landmines, or protecting the most beautiful creatures and places on the planet, these experiences have affirmed our love of Africa, and the issues that are so important to us."

the Prince announced an £8 millions skills grant from UK Aid to help tackle youth unemployment. 

"There's not much I can add to that, outside saying that on our last day here in South Africa, thank you all so much. As my husband said so eloquently, you all really have been such an inspiration for us and being here today, from every level of what we’ve seen, there is such a holistic approach to how you have energised and mobilised each other to be part of a bigger change. On a personal note, seeing the work that’s being done at Blossom is incredible. I have worked with an organisation very similar, several years ago in India called Myna Mahila and being able to see that you’re creating a product that is needed within the community you’re be able to become the provider for everything about the economy and what you need - as opposed to getting it externally, you are feeding yourselves through that work and on top of which being able to enable these women to have the power to own the company is amazing."

'You are the change-makers': Prince Harry's full speech at Youth Employment Services in Johannesburg

Thank you very much Tash for welcoming us to this extraordinary place! I've got to be honest, it's a bit of a whirlwind to cover five countries in nine days, but what a place and what a community to finish on here in Tembisa.

There is no doubt in my mind that you here at the YES hub are the future leaders and pillars of your communities - for many, you already are. You are the change-makers. You are helping to grow your country's prosperity by lifting those around you and offering a better future.

This continent is going through a period of change. Africa needs to create 20 million jobs by 2035, and while youth unemployment is a global challenge, it's particularly a problem here where nearly 57% of young people are unemployed.

Starting adult life in this way can start a cycle of poverty that can be difficult to escape, but you guys are producing solutions, and for that, we commend you.

For this reason, I'm incredibly proud to share that the UK is going to provide £8million for a 'Skills for Prosperity' programme working with the South African Government and other partners.

This programme is going to maximise African ingenuity with UK support to fill the gap between the skills that employers urgently need, and the training offered to employees.

In my role as The Queen's Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, I am so incredibly fortunate to meet young people who are determined to make a real difference and make their mark on the world through action. Meeting people like you makes me realise that the world is in good hands.

We're going to see your President this afternoon as well and we will tell him all we have seen and heard. It is so great to see the South Africa - UK relationship so strong.

I have often talked about Africa as my second home, and I've often been asked why I love it so much. Well, over these last 9 days I have been trying to put my feelings and experiences into words, which is not easy!

I wanted to try and answer a more specific question for myself - what is the essence of Africa? Why is it that so many visitors feel Africa gets under our skin and into our soul?

Last night I returned from my third visit to the 4th poorest country in the world - Malawi. Despite extreme hardship and ongoing challenges on so many levels, people are generous, they are strong, humble and incredibly optimistic.

I know that there are daily struggles that most of us couldn't begin to imagine. Yet I have seen strength, resilience, a sense of hope and empathy that I can only aspire to replicate. Ever since I came to this continent as a young boy, trying to cope with something I can never possibly describe, Africa has held me in an embrace that I will never forget, and I feel incredibly fortunate for that.

And every time I come here; I know that I'm not alone. I always feel - wherever I am on this continent - that the community around me provides a life that is enriching, and is rooted in the simplest things - connection, connections with others and the natural environment.

And as I raise my own son, I want to make sure that what I've learned here – the value of the natural world, the value of community and friendship – is something that I can pass on to him.

Next year we launch our new foundation and it's moments like today and meeting all of you, that inspires us. Whether supporting young entrepreneurs, empowering women and girls, or challenging the issue of gender-based violence…Whether it's been planting trees, clearing landmines, or protecting the most beautiful creatures and places on this planet - these experiences have affirmed our love of Africa, and the issues that are so important to us.

We will firmly stand up for what we believe. We are fortunate enough to have a position that gives us amazing opportunities, and we will do everything that we can to play our part in building a better world.

We will always seek to challenge injustice and to speak out for those who may feel unheard. So no matter your background, your nationality, your age or gender, your sexuality, your physical ability, no matter your circumstance or colour of your skin – we believe in you, and we intend to spend our entire lives making sure you have the opportunity to succeed and change the world.

Thank you.

'The potential is astronomical': Meghan's full speech at Youth Employment Services in Johannesburg 

There is not much I can add to that, outside saying that on our last day here in South Africa, thank you all so much.

As my husband said so eloquently, you really have been such an inspiration for us and being here today, from every level of what we've seen, there is such a holistic approach to how you have energised and mobilised each other to be part of a bigger change.

And on a personal note seeing the work that's being done at Blossom is incredible. I have worked with an organisation very similar, several years ago in India called Myna Mahila and being able to see that you're creating a product that is needed within the community you're be able to become the provider for – everything about the economy and what you need - as opposed to getting it externally, you are feeding yourselves through that work and on top of which being able to enable these women to have the power to own the company is amazing.

But that's what is amazing and that's what's needed because there's so much talent here. There's so much ingenuity here, there's so much promise here, that given the right level of support and resources that you need, the potential is astronomical, and you can see that there. And I think for you women, I'm so proud of you and the business you're creating, and also being able to now control your own purse strings, because when you have that level of independence, my goodness you can do anything.

So, thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet with all of you, to be able to feel inspired and for welcoming us so warmly, strongly, beautifully to your country, we've loved it. 

Thank you.

'Africa, you have made us feel part of your community': Meghan's full speech at South Africa business reception

Good afternoon. Thank you for yet another wonderful welcome, I can't believe it's almost time to say goodbye to this country.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the rhythm and energy of the Mbokodo girls in Nyanga - and I knew that this trip was going to be something incredibly special. So, just begin by saying thank you to all of the people we've met - on behalf of both of us, and of course Archie - we are so grateful. This trip has meant so much to us as a family, but also to me personally.

As you know, reading about the death of Uyinene, and hearing about the protests weighed heavily on my mind. Gender based violence is a harrowing reality for many women around the world. And for some, like the beautiful and talented Uyinene, this violence has taken women from us who have - who had - a life full of hope and dreams ahead of them. Yet if there is any possible hope in this situation, if there is some sliver of light, it is that people are paying attention like never before.

The recent crisis has sparked a much-needed conversation in South Africa, and the world is listening. I met a group of young girls yesterday who wanted to talk to me about their experience. Some of which was harrowing.

Yet despite everything they had been through, they said the saddest thing was to watch the continued degradation of women, and that they wanted to be part of a movement where both women and men play a role in turning that around.

As someone who has been a long-time advocate of women's and girls' rights, I worried about what was happening and my intention on this tour was to meet with women across South Africa to listen and to learn.

So from students to politicians, from apartheid campaigners of the 50s to teenagers on a beach, from the mothers with HIV providing health care to their community, and to the entrepreneurs who are driving the businesses of the future - they all showed me a power and a solidarity that, in this moment, in this time, all women, and all people, can take strength and inspiration from. Because these amazing African women have discovered self-belief and found their worth.

At our visit this earlier this morning I was struck by a small sign that was posted on the wall for the female entrepreneurs – and it said: 'visualize your highest self, and show up as her'. This is the spirit of the women and girls I have met on this trip.

They are not defining themselves by how they compare to others, or making their success and marking it against historical expectations. They are simply paving their own path, they have their own voice, and they are being listened to.

And as I've said before, I firmly believe that all women have a voice, they just need to feel empowered to use it, and people need to feel encouraged to listen. There is a role for all of us here. As women we can listen to one another, and lift each other up, we can raise our boys to be men who value women. And for men and boys, you can lead by example and not let your mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends ever feel that they are lesser than you.

I remember being a young girl watching TV and seeing what was happening in the world, and frankly, often feeling despair. Because when you continue and constantly see and hear negativity, it can be overwhelming; you can feel powerless, and lost, you can feel different, confused, or like you don't belong.

And I'm sure there is a young girl or boy watching this and thinking the maybe exact same thing. So, this is for you.

In a world that that can seem so aggressive, confrontational, and dangerous, you should know that you have the power to change it.

Because whether you're here in South Africa, at home in the UK or the US, or around the world, you actually have the power within you to change things, and that begins with how you connect to others.

I have learned from the people I've met here, that whether it's about society's expectations of masculinity or femininity, or how we divide ourselves by race or faith or class or status- everyone has value, and everyone deserves to be heard and respected.

And if you live your life in that way, your generation will start to value each other in ways the rest of us have not yet been able to do so.

Over the past 10 days our family has had emotional moments, we've poignant moments, we've had spiritual moments; we've met inspirational leaders in every walk of life, and we've been treated to incredible food, music, and dancing, but above all, we have been able to meet the people that are the rocks behind the sort of work that really means a so much to us. It has been affirming to learn that we're not alone in the things that we believe in, and the principles we hold so dear.

No matter how different our lives may seem - Africa, you have made us feel part of your community, of our shared community.

On our visit to the Mosque in Bo Kapp, one of the women told us that the way we change the world is to honour the dignity of difference. And in this we can find strength. When we can bridge divides, and meet, as human beings with different experiences, we can all find connection – and in that connection we become more aware of one another, more aware of our place in the world. We find hope, and self-worth, we can find optimism and courage, and ultimately, we can find joy.

So whether for Harry, Archie and me in South Africa, or for my husband as he was travelling Botswana, Angola and Malawi, please know that you have all given us so much inspiration, so much hope - and above all, you have given us joy.

Thank you.

has come to an end, but The Duke and Duchess have had the opportunity to look back on an incredible 10 days through South Africa, Botswana, Angola and Malawi. Thank you for following along! Their Royal Highness’s journey took them 15,000 miles across southern Africa where they we’re greeted by so many amazing people along the way. They witnessed the great partnership between the UK and Africa, met local community groups, leaders, and youth and elders, who all imparted knowledge and inspiration. On their final day of the tour, The Duchess said: “Please know that you have all given us so much inspiration, so much hope - and above all, you have given us joy.” • During their tour, The Duke and Duchess unveiled three new Queens Commonwealth Canopy projects, protecting forests and planting trees, and worked with the British Government to announce investment of £8m in technology and skills in the region. The Duke traveled to Angola to focus on the ongoing mission to rid the world of landmines, an extension of the work that was pioneered by his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. The Duchess announced gender grants from the Association of Commonwealth Universities to improve access to higher education for women, as well as four scholarships for students studying across the commonwealth. Throughout this trip they were able to join an important and essential conversation about the rights of women and girls - not isolated to Southern Africa, but also globally. Throughout this visit, The Duke and Duchess were struck by the spirit and generosity from every community they visited. Speaking to young entrepreneurs in Tembisa, a township in Johannesburg, The Duke said: “As I raise my own son, I want to make sure that what I’ve learned here – the value of the natural world, the value of community and friendship – is something that I can pass on to him.” • Thank you to everyone who supported from afar, and those who have followed along the way! We hope you enjoy this wrap up video to the tune of a wonderful song by The Soweto Gospel Choir, a favourite of The Duke and Duchess. Video ©️ SussexRoyal
