Chairperson, on behalf of the ANC I hereby give notice that in the next sitting of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) debates strategies to revitalise and bolster the provincial economies to create jobs and economic opportunities for our people;
2) notes that the recent data shows that an estimated 27,1% of all South Africans are unemployed, which is an increase of 2,8 per cent from 2009; and
3) further notes that despite fluctuating and steady economic growth by provinces in the last ten years, the average economic growth coupled with rising unemployment continues to create unbearable conditions for the socioeconomic advancement of our people.
