'Of course it wants to! ... no greater vote-winner than a miracle of 2 million jobs over the next 18 months or so.' Bruce Whitfield - The Money Show
We're all painfully aware that South Africa has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world at over 35%Now Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi says government wants to add 2 million new jobs before the next election, according to Bloomberg News.RELATED: SA's new unemployment high: 'Those without strong education left to flounder'
It’s a very sensitive matter everywhere, but if you look in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Nigeria and Ghana — they have all declared that you can’t bring anyone from outside if there is a national who is able to perform that job. Quite a few government strategies like the New Growth Path, NDP, Gear... all of them have failed really to deliver jobs... Even more so, we've had presidents come and go and all of them have promised to create jobs, but that does not happen...... because the underlying stumbling blocks to creating jobs far outweigh the words of politicians claiming that they'll create jobs.
"Let's throw electricity insecurity into the mix and our low growth rate, and there's the reason for unemployment" says Whitfield.
