The Unemployment Graduate Movement has accused government of having no political will to assist the unemployed and have vowed to make South Africa ungovernable until their demands are met.
UGM President, Nkululeko Ndlovu, accused government of having no will to help graduates and it was up to the unemployed to stand up for themselves.
Despite police trying to stop the protests, the crowd continued to hold up their placards, calling on government to assist them in finding work. "There is no political will. The government does not have commitment. The government does not have transformation. If there is no political will, no one will address our issues," he said.
