This is precisely one of the reasons newspaper sales are declining - deliberate misrepresentation of facts, sensationalism and pseudo analysis masquerading as editorials!

As a matter of fact, the National Union of Mineworkers does not support the Youth Wage subsidy. In fact, the NUM has been vocal in its opposition of the Youth Wage subsidy and is disappointed that the Democratic Alliance and some elements in the media had misconstrued the NUM General Secretary 's statement when he said "As the NUM, we are worried that youth unemployment is at its peak when there is a lot of money in the so-called wage subsidy which should be used elsewhere to create jobs". The General Secretary went further to clarify that by giving example of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). It is therefore a great disappointment that some members of the media decided to distort that for some unknown reasons and that the Democratic Alliance, which is of course highly dependent on the media to pursue its agenda, then jumped the gun to have found support from the NUM. The National Union of Mineworkers is interested in unlocking every resource available that would help eliminate youth unemployment and is highly perturbed by the never-ending discussions on the youth wage subsidy at NEDLAC. The NUM is further perturbed by some media sensationalists that interpreted the NUM statement that "It supports its alliance partners in enforcing discipline amongst their ranks" as reference to Comrade Julius Malema. The NUM has never made mention of the name of Comrade Malema. We have no interest whatsoever in interfering in internal processes of our allies. * Lesiba Seshoka - 082 803 6719 NUM Spokesperson * -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
