What 'correct policies' are you referring to?

If anyone is surprised that "business is in trouble" look no further than to blame COSATU and the anti-business labour laws that the ANC and communists have put in place. I mean, have you ever hear of Communists running businesses for profit and yet who do we have in power? Here is Craven's comment after the DA invited Vavi to come and see a youth subsidy scheme working: (source iafrica.com)

"Cosatu spokesman Patrick Craven said it was not policy to engage with the DA.

"Our differences are fundamental. It is not just the wage subsidy.... their policies are all pro-business," Mr Craven said."

So with a powerful trade union that is anti-business how in heaven's name will we ever create jobs. The unions are like parasites to business. The more successful the unions become the more they k i l l the host, and by all accounts business is dying fast in SA.

Go on, vote ANC for a more prosperous SA.

Sadly what you say is correct. this has all been seen bfore in the world. one example is Britain and their unions, did exactly what you describe in some sectors such as car manufactuing and mines
