Meet the young maths whiz from Jozi helping shape the future #WEF20

The youth and how they believe the present generation is messing up their future has dominated the past year and at the 2020 World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland they were again given ample opportunity to tell delegates what they wanted for the future. Spearheading this movement is Greta Thunberg, a teenager from Sweden who has received a fair amount of flack for standing up for what she believes in. President Donald Trump's treasury secretary has followed his leader in taking a swipe at Thunberg suggesting the climate activist should study economics at university before she offers advice on how to tackle global warming. Somebody who has studied maths at university in South Africa is clearly able to offer his input on how teenage unemployment in our country should be tackled. Sai Govender, from Johannesburg, has been chosen by the WEF as a Global Shaper. He spoke to Biznews about his experience at Davos. - Linda van Tilburg
