COSATU’s provincial secretary Edwin Mkhize says, “We’ll be moving from here to the Marine Building with a motorcade. We will take some time on the road while demonstrating. Then, at the Marine Building we will picket for about two hours and hand over the memorandum. Today is not a strike or a stay away. But we need to send a warning shot to government on the rising cost of fuel which is the main grievance that we are raising.
The Department of Energy announced that the petrol price increased by R2.43 cents per litre and diesel by between R1.07 and R1.10 in June.Government said it will also take further measures to help reduce fuel prices in a more sustainable manner.Statistics relating to young people in South Africa pertain to high unemployment. The jobless rate has soared above 60% for those aged between 15 and 24 and it stands at 42% for those aged 25 to 34.
I truly hope someone can stand up to this issue...We cannot allow this. People is suffering!!!
