The Duchess wore a beige double-breasted collar dress similar to the one she wore yesterday. The only difference is that today's one was a bit longer in length. The First Lady wore a floral flounce skirt with a matching shirt while Ramaphosa wore a black suit, white shirt and red tie. The Duke opted for a navy blue suit, white shirt and a blue tie.

Before meeting with the president, the royals went to Tembisa to learn about Youth Employment Services (YES). YES is an initiative launched by Ramaphosa aiming to tackle the critical issue of youth unemployment in South Africa by creating one million new work opportunities in the next three years.

Since their arrival in Africa, the Duke of Sussex not only visited South Africa but went to neighbouring countries such as Botswana, Angola, and Malawi where he followed the the footsteps of his late mother, Princess Diana and raised awareness for HIV. 

The Duchess of Sussex remained in Johannesburg where she was on the ground, discussing violence against women and children.
