President Cyril Ramaphosa will hold a youth dialogue on Wednesday ahead of his state of the nation address (Sona) the following day.
The presidency said on Tuesday that the dialogue would be a platform for the country's youth to discuss the direction they hope the country will take.
The dialogue takes place the day before Ramaphosa's much-anticipated Sona on Thursday, with South Africans hoping he will address a number of socio-economic challenges, such as unemployment, gender-based violence and the energy crisis.
The presidency added that the focus of the dialogue would be on getting input from young people on how to create jobs for them.
The Sona youth dialogue is themed "Grow South Africa together" and will be facilitated by young people.
