Employ yourselves, MEC tells pupils

By Aretha Linden

Eastern Cape rural development and agrarian reform MEC Mlibo Qoboshiyane has challenged youths to be self-employed and start up their own businesses instead of demanding government jobs.

By doing this, Qoboshiyane said, the youth would be taking part in the economy instead of being onlookers.

The MEC was speaking at the Old Mutual stakeholders’ engagement meeting in East London yesterday.
