Press Release - Unemployment is the single greatest crisis facing South Africa.
The fact that over 70 out of every 100 young people aged between 18 and 24, as well as 42 out of every 100 work seekers overall, cannot find a job to feed their families and build a better future, is the original sin of the incumbent ANC government.
That South Africa today has one of the highest unemployment rates in the entire world, is an entirely man-made disaster.It is because of the deliberate choices of the men and women inside the ANC, that 309 000 manufacturing jobs were destroyed over the past 16 years. And it is because of the deliberate choices of the ANC, that over 30 million citizens now live in desperate poverty.
Our plan to unleash enterprise, grow the economy and create jobs spells out what these better choices are, and confirms that the DA are the right people to rescue South African from our man-made unemployment disaster.This detailed policy, developed in consultation with some of the best economic thinkers in the world and built on global examples of best practice, presents the most compelling and exciting economic offer South Africans have seen in a generation.
Coupled with making better choices on collective bargaining to expand representation and exempt small, medium and micro enterprises from agreements they cannot afford, this will ignite the creation of a further 700 000 to 1 000 000 new jobs. After decades of growth through governing dozens of municipalities and a major province, of learning, and of internal reform, the DA steps up today more confident, more prepared and more determined than we have ever been to rescue the whole of South Africa from unemployment.
