Unemployed People’s Movement

PRESS STATEMENT

During the Christmas break we received the most shocking news from KwaZulu-Natal. The provincial traffic department in that province advertised 90 positions for trainee traffic officers. More than 150,000 people applied. Most of them were aged between 18 and 20 years.

On Friday last week Jacob Zuma addressed the South African Unemployed Workers’ Union (SAUWU) in East London. Zuma announced that 600 members of SAUWU would benefit from a new Community Works Programme.
