Magashule: Cuba’s labour broker
26 May 2015
Ace Magashule and the ANC are acting as labour brokers for Cuba.
Yesterday afternoon, Ace Magashule undermined the democratic principle of the separation of the party and the state when he presented 37 Cuban engineers to the media at the ANC’s provincial headquarters in Bloemfontein. This has become the norm under Operation Hlasela in the Free State.
If Ace Magashule and the ANC were keen on creating jobs for unemployed South Africans, his government could have employed any of the about 500 qualified, experienced, and unemployed engineers in the country.
Magashule claims his government had to employ these engineers from Cuba because South Africans do not possess the requisite skills. This mentality is the worst sort of insult to South Africans.
