ActionSA calls on President Ramaphosa to fire GNU ministers regarding South Africa's worsening jobs crisis.

from First Take SA · host SAfm

ActionSA has called on President Ramaphosa to fire GNU ministers it blames for South Africa's worsening jobs crisis. The party cited Stats SA data showing 345,000 jobs lost in the first quarter of 2026, pushing unemployment to 32.7%. It said community services and construction were hit hardest, with youth unemployment also rising sharply. ActionSA says the figures reflect policy failure and will write to the President demanding urgent action. We spoke to ActionSA Member of Parliament, Alan Beesley to unpack their response and proposed solutions.
