DA: Dr Michael Cardo MP, Address by DA Shadow Minister of Employment and Labour, during a Budget Vote, Parliament (09/05/23)

9th May 2023

Honourable Chairperson
The ANC has unleashed an avalanche of unemployment in South Africa. It threatens to reduce
our country to rubble.

But instead of mitigating the disaster, or preventing further rockfalls, the ruling party only deepens the destruction. Hence its predisposition to policies and laws – like the Employment Equity Amendment Act – that will trigger a deluge of disinvestment and expedite the nation’s economic collapse.

South Africa sits at the global pinnacle of joblessness, atop a steep slope of despair, down which people’s dreams and livelihoods come crashing.
