The IFP wants South Africans to be prioritised in the job market to fight the country’s high unemployment.

Speaking at the Five Roses Mofolo Ground in Soweto yesterday, where the party launched its Gauteng manifesto ahead of the November 1 local government elections, IFP president Velenkosini Hlabisa told supporters that South Africans come first when it comes to jobs, housing and social services.

Hlabisa said Statistics SA revealed earlier this year that the official unemployment rate in Gauteng stood at 33.7%, which is the third highest in the country. According to Hlabisa, the IFP will invest in local economic development and the township economy to create job opportunities.
