The president must be serious about strengthening local businesses to create jobs for many.
Economic growth is what Mzansi really needs at this stage after Covid-19 worsened inequality, unemployment and poverty.
The government has made several commitments to create jobs, especially for the youth with little desire to make the dream real.
- The president’s speech that his administration will stimulate economic growth by helping struggling local businesses, especially those in the manufacturing sector, can revive the economy only if there’s desire to make it happen. Covid-19 can’t be used as an excuse for government’s failures to revive the economy, because this is a global pandemic which affected every country. Rofhiwa Phaswana Ekurhuleni
