ActionSA has learned with shock of the failure of the Gauteng government to pay salaries of 311 young people employed by the department of social development. Since February, over 300 young people employed under the Nas’iSpani programme have not been paid their salaries.
Since inception, ActionSA has repeatedly warned the Premier not to use the desperation of millions of young people for his selfish political ambitions. Instead, Premier Lesufi doubled down on his gimmicks with the introduction of new employment schemes like “Green Army”, “Aga le Rona Road workers” and “Sawbona Mhlali” to name just a few.
It has become evident that these mass employment schemes are not created with the genuine intention to create jobs but are ANC’s electioneering tactics. In a country with over 60% youth unemployment rate, it is disheartening to see politicians playing fast and loose with the livelihoods of young people.
Just less than a week ago, the Minister of employment and Labour, Minister Thulas Nxesi announced his own version of Nas’iSpani with a price tag of over R23 Billion, called “Crush noLova” a partnership with the Gauteng government. This clearly shows that the strategy of creating millions of short-term mass employment schemes has become ANC’s nationwide election strategy, and with Minister Nxesi’s involvement in this, no one can be sure where most of this money will end.
ActionSA urges the people of Gauteng not to fall for these gimmicks, and to use their vote on the 29th of May to fight back and revenge by removing the ANC from power. ActionSA stands ready to take over and deliver a government that will create much needed sustainable jobs.
