South Africa's unemployment rate has worsened to 29.1%, the highest level in more than 11 years.

Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke on Tuesday announced the findings of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey for the third quarter of 2019, at a briefing in Pretoria.

The unemployment rate increased 0.1 percentage point from the previous quarter to 29.1%. "This is the highest since the first quarter of 2008," Maluke said.

I think this is the issue with at least 45% or even more of the South African population. Not sure how much longer the government will be able to keep running a welfare state though.

They probably wanted to keep the news quiet. Also most likely did not have enough money to bribe the reporters.
