Insights from Generation Z 30 years on from Democracy

This report is the first part of a three part report exploring the 30/30/30 Project, a project created by Flux Trends and Student Village to introduce South Africa – and the world – to its future. Spearheaded by Dion Chang, Founder of Flux Trends, and Ronen Aires, author of Breach and co-founder of Student Village, both leading experts on youth insights in South Africa.

The Personal Report covers certain aspects of the personal lives of South Africa’s GenZ 30 years after democracy. It takes a closer look at the participants’ childhood, interests, social media behaviour, relationships with friends and family and the condition of their mental health. 

This report looks at:

• Their home environment and its impact on decisions they make
• How religion and spirituality is being re-defined
