🚨 WAKE UP CALL 🚨
The debate around illegal immigration should also be a wake-up call for us as South Africans.
We need to become more hardworking, more skilled, and stop looking down on honest work. There is dignity in every job that puts food on the table.
I hope we start seeing more South Africans taking up trades like gardening, plumbing, carpentry, tiling, painting, bricklaying, welding, tailoring, and other skilled jobs.
These professions can build businesses, create employment, and provide a decent living.
Government also has a role to play by supporting small businesses with access to training, tools, finance, and opportunities.
No job is too small when you're building a future. The strongest economies are built by people who are willing to work, learn, and master a skill.
Perhaps this moment is an opportunity for South Africans to rediscover the value of hard work and craftsmanship because once they leave the will leave a huge gap that has to be filled
