Unemployment is a direct consequence of Cyril incompetence. He doesn't know what to do. Recall and reverse his policies effective immediately for the sake of the future of our children he's largely indebted with international loans and embezzlement.

The fact is Immigrants will take South Africans jobs, lower our wages, and especially hurt the poor. So you are defending them vele?

UNEMPLOYMENT CRISES DUE TO THE UNIONS AND THE ANC GOVERNMENT LOOTING AND DESTRUCTION OF THE ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY.

Nonsense come to bryanston and see that only foreigners are employed here

Facts: the influx of illegal Foreigners in SA is beyond the acceptable number and it has huge impact to South Africans no matter how Amnesty international can pronounce it. We feel it coz we live in it while Amnesty assuming it.

Lot of south Africans they are benefitting from rent money which is being payed by these foreigners.

Dumies will follow these politicians. These guys only care abt support not you. Most foreign nationals are self employed. These guys are fueling xenophobic attacks on foreign nations.

Factos

Amend laws that promote use of dependence producing drugs by individuals, leading into distorted way of thinking and disinhibition, and probable tendency to violence and thuggery. Increased violence lead to lack of investment.

Unemployment crisis is in people's minds full stop.

What is it due to then, laziness ?

Yes. It is due to many youths using drugs and thereby ignoring the importance of acquiring skills, which shall lead to employability and starting of business.
