Cannabis is king in Gauteng: Makhura says the industry will create jobs

Makhura tabled this at his state of the province address on Tuesday morning, where he stated that the industrialisation of cannabis targeting healthcare and skincare could be lucrative for the province.

“Our first and foremost economic goal is to grow the economy in order to massively increase the number of new jobs, while sustaining existing jobs in Gauteng. Our number one goal is to create jobs.” Makhura’s announcement followed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s state of the nation address’ speech, in which he endorsed regulating the commercial use of hemp products and the formulation of a policy that supports the use of cannabis.

He must never leave the unemployed youth behind by imprisoning them when they are found planting cannibas in their back yard

David_Makhura is so underwhelming! Governments are announcing breakthroughs in science and technologies, and Makhura could only announce an imaginary cannabis industry?

🤦‍♀️Governments should not venture into business. Their job is to provide services like infrastructure, health, safety and education.

Money is about to be made and guess who might lose out on a lucrative farming opportunity?
