These people marched to businesses demanding g jobs. They should be marching to ANC ministers’ houses

You know what would be an even better headline to read; ‘Labour minister is acting to curb wave of retrenchments’

South Africa has so much potential - would have been great if it wasn’t undermined for a quarter of a century. A new generation will have to make it a success story, or prove the doom-sayers right.

Over the short term SA can survive the crippling ANC economic growth policies by getting cheap products from China, but in doing so we’re killing local manufacturing capacity.

International enterprises leaving SA on an almost daily basis. The only thing that will slow this trend is that at some point there won’t be that much left. Like a bucket that doesn’t leak because it’s empty.

This should not just raise a red flag, but rather set off alarm bells about the state of things in SA and political abuse of power

Such a training program is wasteful of time and money because there are already thousands of people with these skills, acquired through the various SETAs. Those people would like jobs

So the SG says that they are a collective, which means that they are therefore complicit in all the nefarious dealings that are being exposed.

Creating a 10,000 jobs a day should long ago have been SAs primary objective. Something that could have been made drastically more possible by deploying AI agents to the task. To further facilitate this growth one could build in a circular supply-chain model. Detailed 3 years ago

If it’s not documented, then there was no consideration. Is always easy to claim clairvoyance after the fact.

SA needs to claw back on manufacturing if it doesn’t want to end up as a consumer nation, but steep energy costs and other hurdles like legislative barriers is putting a choke-hold on SA’s already diminishing capacity.

Ever notice how quickly some of the SA X accounts can get worked up when they are faced with a different opinion, hypotheses, or even just outright facts. From its content one would assume most of them to be adults, but unlikely on the more mature side.

😂 ‘Almost 36’ is not even a rounding number. It’s a integer, I’m sure he could have just given the exact number

It’s not a lack of IQ, at least some of the time, but a definite lack of EQ

SA needs 99% (maximum) employment. Thus economic growth through investment and job creation, not redistribution or social grants, but real jobs.

SA now a term away from the so-called Development plan, which just resulted into catastrophic economic collapse. Wake up SA! The ANC will place itself ahead of the national interest at every opportunity, and it’s getting worse.
