The ANC, as usual, is stuck in the past. The document rests on two conceptual flaws. Firstly, it suggests that foreign nationals are responsible for South Africa’s sky-high unemployment rate, which now sits at 46.6%. This is … [Read more...] about National Labour Migration Policy a throwback to apartheid-era job reservation
