As Finance Minister Tito Mboweni puts the final touches to his, about 200 unemployed people will on Wednesday march to the Cape Town municipal offices as part of their programme of action under the slogan “the cry for the excluded “.
Motsi says, “We have unemployment because we were dispossessed of our land. We demand the right to work. We demand a basic income grant and then we are also saying the budget that the government is giving out every year doesn’t reach the poor of the poorest.” The mines blame retrenchments on high input costs, increasing electricity prices, load shedding and declining global commodity prices.
Malan says, “Firstly, we need to acknowledge the crisis of unemployment and joblessness. There needs to be more efforts channelled into that area and that is not just in the formal education system. We are not addressing the number of drop outs from school, those that never even reached matric, we are not skilling them up, to make them employable and so they remain unemployed, but unemployable.”
