Imisepela App Fails to Deliver in Kapiri Mposhi
The Imisepela platform, launched by government to connect youths to jobs, internships, apprenticeships, and funding, is facing criticism in Kapiri Mposhi where young people say it has not benefited them. While national figures boast over 280,000 registrations and K20 million disbursed to youth entrepreneurs, local youths argue they have never seen anyone in Kapiri gain employment or funding through the app. Some claim they had never even heard of Imisepela, while others who know about it insist it has produced no results in their community. This disconnect between official announcements and local realities raises concerns about whether the program is truly reaching rural youths or remains concentrated in urban centers
