On the 23rd of June our ground investigative monitors Itumeleng Klaas and Santos Phukuntsi attended a mass meeting organized by Phomolong Unemployment Forum at 10am in Hennenman. While at it, an indication was made that the number of unemployed youth attending weekly meetings of the forum have increased to about 600 that in itself has become a worrying factor.

In the main was a report that Sibanye Gold formerly known as Goldfields committed to the forum that next month onwards it will employ certain number of unemployed youth and that shall be a monthly practice until the end of 2016. The practice shall contribute positively toward making sure unemployment and poverty is defeated in our community.
