Business blames unions for weak economy

The business organisation, which represents more than 70 of the country’s biggest companies, said labour’s inability to compromise on salaries at Eskom and the unbundling of the embattled power utility has weighed on the economy. While the Treasury expects growth of 1.5% in 2019 , the Reserve Bank, which expects 1.3%, said in April that if power cuts persist throughout 2019, it could shave as much as 1.1 percentage points off growth for the year and more than 100,000 job losses.

“The economy is weak because of the supply-side of the economy that doesn’t allow people to participate.”

Absurd!
