AA raises concerns about the safety of certain cars being sold to South African drivers

South Africa has a joblessness crisis and  fixing it will take fresh thinking to find a solution.  Over the past 10 years, South Africa has created only 130 000 new formal work opportunities on average a year – not nearly enough to absorb the 12-million work seekers currently unemployed. According to Justin Visagie, Associate Professor at the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) at WITS, the size of the challenge is such that even if job growth in the formal sector were to grow to three percent per annum, it would take 50 years to wipe out unemployment. South Africa's official unemployment rate stands at approximately 31.4% to 32.9%. Youth unemployment remains critically high, with some estimates exceeding 45% in the 15–34 age bracket. So, what are our options? Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Justin Visagie, Associate Professor at the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) at WITS

Analysis: "The fact that South Africa hasn't grown its informal economy is probably a missed opportunity"

The US has imposed sweeping sanctions on former Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila, accusing him of backing the M23 rebel group. Washington alleges he provided financial support, encouraged defections from the Congolese army and even "sought to launch attacks" on the military from outside the country. The 54-year-old ex-president, who led DR Congo for 18 years from 2001, has released a statement where he says that he finds the decision profoundly unjustified. Bongiwe Zwane caught up with Specialist Correspondent Sophie Mokoena for more details...
