Scores of social workers marched to the Presidency at the Union Buildings demanding jobs and R7 000 monthly stipend, while still searching for jobs.

They say some of them graduated more than 10 years ago after funding their tertiary education, while others were offered government scholarships to pursue studies in the social worker field.9 000 unemployed graduate social work graduates in the country

“I graduated in 2014. No one is working at home. I went to school because I thought things will be better for my family. Also thought that will help transform my community, my country and improve my kids’ future because Social Development does not employ us which worries me a lot.” Maria Tshetlo, who’s also unemployed, is part of those who organised the march to the Presidency. She’s hopeful this will bear good results.

An official from the Presidency told the protesters that their demands will be forwarded to President Cyril Ramaphosa for his urgent attention.
