Tomorrow, Thursday 7 June 2012, the Western Cape Provincial Parliament will debate the Youth Wage Subsidy.

The topic of the debate is as follows:
“The House debates the recent and continuous actions of Cosatu against the implementation of the national Youth Wage Subsidy and the impact that these actions have on the Western Cape; and:
a) the point of view of Cosatu in this regard is preventing unemployed young people from gaining access to the economy; and
b) through these actions, Cosatu is exposed as an organisation that is not in touch with the needs of the poor that is opposed to the creation of new jobs.”

Western Cape Minister for Economic Development and Tourism, Alan Winde and Western Cape Premier, Helen Zille will put forward the case for National Treasury to release the Western Cape’s share of the R5billion allocated for the Youth Wage Subsidy. Members of the opposition in the Western Cape Parliament will then respond to this proposal.
