The DA is at it again blaming the ANC government for failing the youth of Soweto, as if it is the only youth in the land but that as it may be I widh to point to the fact that the major economic activity of this country still rests in the hands of the few whites whose ambition is to perpetuate and exacerbate the economic crisis for the majority in the Working Class communities. Well I don't really expect Mr. Maimane to have a clue of the real issues except what he is taught by the leader of the opposition party. Many young people are indeed unemployed, unskilled and uneducated which is why emphasis has been put on education and skills development so as to ensure quality employment and quality response to the economic needs of the country. I am not taken aback by what he has said but the reality is that he is only desperate for the votes of the unsuspecting youth because he has been elevated to become some kind of a political careerist by the masters of capitalist ideology and system of living. Indeed I agree with Mr. Maimane that there is a need to create jobs, but if he can just take a deep breath and check who forms the membership of the DA. Are these the poor and the jobless or why would his eagerness to create jobs amount to clothing the unsuspecting youth in blue T.Shirts, pay them fifty rands to become party agents and lobby them to fight their own parents at COSATU house. Is this not an attempt to plubnge the country into violence, is this not another plot by his masters to reorganize black on black violence and deminish the history of our people through lies?
Ofcourse there is a need for job creation by the ANC government the same way as there is a need fo the creation of jobs by the white monopoly capital which for years has failed to come to the party. By the way these are members of the DA in their numbers. Mr Maimane must visit all the big banks in the land and check who remains at the helm, is it not the old grannies from the minotity communities, the jobs that are created for young people there are mainly as under-paid tellers and service consultants. How many companies employ black youth who come out of the education institutions as maagers and how many of those hired remain employed for longer periods? Clearly there is a lot that Mr. Maimane has to learn because the people of our country are not stupid. If the DA was serious about delivery to the majority it would not professionalize the selection of ward councilors by importing people who live in places where the majority of the poor people of our country live. We were not fooled in the past and we will not be fooled by this young political entrepreneur. Asikhulume!!!

Youths in Soweto had little hope of finding jobs, DA national spokesperson Mmusi Maimane said. Maimane embarked on a door-to-door visit in Doornkop, Soweto on Saturday morning. "A clear pattern emerged. Almost every family I visited had a young member who could not find work, or who was concerned about not being able to find work in future." He said many of them had accepted that they would be indefinitely unemployed. Maimane accused the African National Congress' policies of not being efficient for them and encouraged them to jump onto the DA's bandwagon. "The DA has a plan to change the way economy works and break down the wall that excludes so many young South Africans from gainful employment. "We have successfully brought this vision to the Western Cape and I urged them to use their vote in 2014 to choose a new national government that has the will, the ability and the vision to make South Africa's economy work for them," he said. Employment was one of the issues highlighted as a priority by President Jacob Zuma during his State of the Nation address earlier this year. According to the labour department over 25% of the country's potential workforce is unemployed. The youth are the hardest hit, with an estimated 42% of young people between ages of 18 and 29 said to be jobless.
