345,000 Jobs Lost as South Africa Celebrates Workers’ Month

South Africa recently celebrated Workers’ Day, as May is recognised as Workers’ Month in the country. Addressing workers at a Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) May Day rally in Polokwane, COSATU President Zingiswa Losi called for South Africa’s unemployment crisis to be treated as a national emergency, stating that “unemployment is a national disaster.” She also called for increased inspections at factories across the country to ensure safe and secure working conditions for employees and condemned employers who continue retrenching workers amid the country’s economic challenges.
