"Youth unemployment is of great concern to me," Ramaphosa said in a Twitter Q/A with young people hosted on his official Twitter page late on Monday, using the hashtag #HolaMatamela.
"We are mobilising investments to create jobs and we are urging companies to focus more attention on employing young people and not insist on work experience," he said.Asked by Twitter user Thato_Seele why unemployed graduates should vote for the ANC and when young people will start to see growth and integration of young people in the economy, Ramaphosa replied,"Young people should vote for the ANC because the country has made a big investment [in] them.
Said Ramaphosa,"Young professionals should answer to the #ThumaMina call by seeking out younger people and mentoring them. They should set up structures to empower primary school learners with career guidance and general mentoring. That will be the greatest contribution by young professionals.""Don't you believe in the youth?" Nadaba asked.
Ramaphosa replied in turn,"I am a firm believer in the ability of young people to give leadership as they are courageous, innovative and creative."
That would be a massive change if indeed the businesses will buy in his proposal
higher education is doing a lot to teach the hours, some skills and theory so ka nnete lets help the young people in jobs invest in training and i truly believe this is how we can grow our country and create more jobs. graduates are sit at home with degrees (playing video games)
So that a union can come and burn my business down when I fire the same person for incompetence? No!
Erm .... no thanks!
Make employment less onerous
CyrilRamaphosa first lets give jobs to experienced unemployed people, then look at the rest.
To say it's simple but at least if you practice what you preach 💯CyrilRamaphosa
But this doesn't change the fact that the petrol price is still going up to R17 a litre. So even if you get a job you would be lucky to still have money left end of the month.
I will love that for our young sisters and brothers cause they are sitting home with the degrees .
Let it starts by you
Incentivise this process by giving tax breaks to companies that do so. And incentivise on the job training.
This article just again shows that Cyril does not have a clue about business. I now start questioning how the heck did he made his fortune? Jobs and contracts from fellow caders? Just a question. No proper businessman will just employ people randomly and pay them minimum wages
Maar yena employs old people in Parliament...Eyi Satafrika
This would be a feasible solution if you grant your cabinet retirement, majority of your representatives are past retirement age.
What does he mean? And pay them minimum wage?
CyrilRamaphosa employ us too since you have got business
Support small businesses, so that they can create jobs. 😧😧
CyrilRamaphosa you just don't get it! 🤬
Wonder if he understands that most of us actually have to deliver a product/service to be paid - unlike his cronies that get paid hundreds of millions by just signing a contract - also that unless we make money - there is no way to pay people - we can’t steal tax money, mamparra
Is that not what BEE was there for? To employ anyone even if they can't do the work and the results is just astonishing!
Yeah I have just sent my CV to shanduka .... ..im as good as hired I know ,can't wait to work for Vho-Matamela
Only small businesses, bro. Else, give Gavin Watson a call
His mad
How about 'employ whites even if it goes against AA BEE policies'?
Ramaphosa is desperate for votes
Mr President, I’m sure the average age of your cabinet is 80yrs.
Where do I send my CV?
Will government subsidies business for the losses we will incure by employing lazy young people with attitudes, put your money where your mouth is
The shit that you smoke must be good!
Yerrr these experiences they pose whenever you get a post really sickness me
The ANC has a record of doing just this with cadre deployment. It was and remains a national disaster and the country suffers as a result.
lol, so go from old inexperienced people to young inexperienced people? And when things totally fail, blame WMC and apartheid...like they usually do. This is getting old...
Kinda like the anc employed Jacob?
Of course! With the way the ANC has stimulated the economy for the last 25 years we have work opportunities pouring out of every corner in this Country. Young people .... all of them.... welcome to the New, New South Africa!!!
Business to Ramaphosa ... We have disinvested and have no plans on coming back as long as racist BEE and AA laws are in place. Cheers
That’s such an educated idea Pr. Ramaphosa, it will get us further than your BEE did.
It’s not the experience that so vital but more their attitude 😳
SOME SETAS STILL HAVE NOT APPROVED INTERNSHIPS,ME PRESIDENT!
Did he suggest how that would help either party in the long term?
There is not enough incentive for businesses to hire young people without experience, in the first place. Make it worth their while.
Give us electricity and then we can talk about the 30%ers who cannot spell , read or write
We could if economy was doing well 83000 business close in last 10 years as result of the Anc rule an average of 830 000 jobs lost, not to mention companies having to downsize due to downgrades and low investment in SA
He would!
Charity begins at home Mr President. Show us a report showing your company's doing the same first.
Well it’s what the ANC GOvernment has done for years with its Ministers
But in the ANC they employ old people who long passed 65. So those who are above 35 should become criminals with wives and children?
Unbelievable
You first Cyril
Please credit the person who asked the question, TebogoDitshego. Stop stealing content and not acknowledging the person who created it.
First abolish BEE and AA for sme's. Then relax labour laws.
Why didn't they quote TebogoDitshego? Instead they called him 'Young people' what type of rubbish reporting is this? AdriaanBasson
Let’s start at Shaduka holdings, then Bidvest
CyrilRamaphosa promoting employment without merit?
Me to Ramaphosa.....
Why? Let blacks stop getting hand outs and earn their rightful place at the table.
This is such a shameful article. Why skip the person who asked the question --TebogoDitshego and mention everyone else?
No-one has experience to do anything, we are all learning! Just look at how messed up our government is!
And how exactly does this help a company/business? This is why 🇿🇦 is in the state it is in ( besides all the corruption ) they kicked people out of their jobs who had studied and had the relevant experience to do the job properly for people who never had a clue on how to do job
And ruin our business as you have destroyed SOEs !
Why doesn't that start at Government departments? He must scrap Work Experience in all Government posts 1st
