The unemployment rate in the province dropped to 19.3%, which is 14 percentage points lower than the national average.
CAPE TOWN – Western Cape Premier Helen Zille says that she’s pleased to have received a letter from the National Assembly congratulating her for reducing unemployment in the province to the lowest in the country.“I’ve taken a step back because I'm not the leader of the party anymore. The leader of the party leads a campaign, not someone who used to be a leader of the party.
“I’m the premier of the Western Cape, I’ve got no role at all in the party but when the party asks me to do something, I do so.”

OPINIONISTA: From the Inside: We are but four signatures away from a permanent solution to the energy crisisEnergy Minister Jeff Radebe is deluded if he believes that withholding his signatures will save the massively overstaffed, under-skilled and corruption-paralysed Eskom.
