💨 Abstract

EFF leader Julius Malema urged Zimbabweans to seek jobs in their own country rather than competing with South Africans, who face a youth unemployment rate of 66.5%. Previously supportive of Zimbabweans working in South Africa, Malema now emphasizes local employment, especially in South African municipalities. He called for municipal tenders and local opportunities to prioritize South African citizens. This stance marks a shift towards a more protectionist economic approach.
