On record
The #BachaGaBaBereke campaign — Setswana for "the youth do not work," naming the youth-unemployment crisis directly — organised a 30 September 2025 march from Nkandla Changing Spot in Soshanguve to the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) on Tungsten Street, Rosslyn. AIDC anchors South Africa's automotive manufacturing belt, including the BMW SA cluster.
The march, co-organised with Kopa Sheleng Community Aid NPC and authorised with SAPS escort, was framed not as confrontation but as engagement: the call to industry was to formalise partnerships with youth ecosystem builders and embed youth into procurement and supply chains. The "BACHA GA BA BEREKE Brigade" — the campaign's branded marshal corps — led the route.
This was YiB's mobilisation event, distinct in form from the convening, training, and onboarding events in the rest of the track record.
