The Federation of Unions of South Africa says government should be spending its budget locally and not pay other countries to manufacture goods that can be locally produced.
Commenting on the Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies’ Industrial Policy Action Plan, Fedusa said there was not enough focus on the development of the services sector - a vital component of the country’s economy.
Fedusa’s general secretary Dennis George says government should start spending locally in a bid to create jobs.
“With the World Cup coming to the country this year government has to put something to the local market.
“Even the buses that are going to be used during the World Cup are being imported, what we are saying as Fedusa is that those busses could have been manufactured now they are imported form Brazil we are creating jobs there,” said Dennis George.
