Ramaphosa promises to create at least 2.5 million work opportunities in the next five years,
“Yes, we will be focusing on the cost of living. We will take steps to make everyday life more affordable for workers, the unemployed and yes, the middle class as well who are currently suffering under the burden of high interest rates. Yes, people are finding that food costs more, housing and healthcare and energy. We will prioritize food security including vat exemption.”
Five years ago, when he promised to create around 275 000 jobs a year, the unemployment rate was just less than 30%. But Ramaphosa remains upbeat that this is possible.
