The Democratic Alliance has today
called for a jobs debate in Parliament.
DA MP of Finance Tim Harris said in
July the number of unemployed people in South
Africa increased by 122
000 in the second quarter.
Harris said a debate is urgently needed to find a way to solve the unemployment rate in the country.
“We had numerous items of bad news
in the past few weeks and the latest news is that we dropped off from the top of the
global competitiveness index in Africa , we are
now number 2 behind Mauritius ,”
Harris added.
He also said this is because of
aspect like the quality of primary education where South
Africa is standing 29th
in Africa and 133rd globally.
