Gauteng’s 4.9 million unemployed cannot get ahead under the ANC
30 July 2019
Figures released today by StatsSA indicate that unemployment in Gauteng is soaring to unprecedented levels.
The current expanded unemployment figure, which also includes those who have given up looking for work sits at 35%, or 4.9 million people.
Year-on-year, 196 000 more people in Gauteng find themselves in the grip of unemployment, unable to provide for themselves or their families.
The reasons behind the massive increase in joblessness can be solely laid at the feet of the ANC-led Gauteng Provincial Government.
