Employment and Labour Minister urges citizens to vaccinate to fight the train of unemployment in the country

 

Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi has reiterated the importance of all eligible people in South Africa to vaccinate for COVID-19, saying this would allow the economy to fully reopen and halt the runaway train of unemployment.

Nxesi expressed the view in the wake of Statistics South Africa’s Q2 Quarterly Labour Force Survey, which this week revealed a continued job loss trend in the country.

I think okay for people to get encouraged to go gat the jab but personally I have not vaccinated I don’t want to, it really does not matter for me, I will do it so that things can get back to normal but personally I don’t want any thing that has to do with needles.

I feel like we have had that story before, it probably something that will not happen anything soon, if you check the stats of unemployment, it still going up, so he must come up with progremmes right now, test drive it right now

Yeah I think it kind encoring because it gives a solution to get out of this solution so yeah.
