The fact that the #MTBPS forecasts only reaching the 3% economic growth needed to see unemployment fall in 2034 is beyond depressing. Unemployment has risen 2.2% this year alone, says #COSATU @Treasury_RSA @busrep @Radio702 @SAfmRadio @MDNnewss @News24 @Newzroom405

An unhealthy obsession with neo-liberal austerity budget cuts or in the case of the MTBPS, prioritising early retirement packages, is not a sustainable path to unlocking economic growth and slashing unemployment, says #COSATU @Treasury_RSA @PresidencyZA

The National Treasury and govt collectively missed the opportunity to table a bold package of interventions that would tackle the fundamental crises of a staggeringly high 43.8% unemployment rate, weak economic growth averaging 1% for over a decade, says #COSATU @MorningLiveSABC
