Malema was at pains to explain that this was not a xenophobic call, but that it would stop employers from exploiting foreign nationals.

Mboweni said things had changed over the past two decades and the country's unemployed workers were being left behind. When he returned to SA from exile in 1990, he explained, eight out of 10 workers at restaurants were South African.The other two were probably Malawian or Zimbabwean. Today almost 100% are non-South African,” he said.The new economy that we are getting into after the lifting of the lockdown must answer that question.

The IFP meanwhile announced in January that it was planning to introduce a new bill proposing the rationing of jobs whereby businesses would be forced to prioritise South Africans over foreigners. At the time, IFP MP Liezl van der Merwe said she would be piloting the proposed legislation to ensure that a certain percentage, or a certain quota, for certain skills should go to people from outside the country who are in the country legally but the majority of the jobs should be reserved for South Africans.

The party suggested that the proposed quota would be 80:20 with businesses obliged to ensure that at least 80% of their employees are South Africans.

Quite constructive though,logically it flows

voting is nearer and political parties will change their stunts.
