Some of the main reasons why graduates cannot find jobs include, in order of importance:
- The economy is in a slump (especially so our mining industry)
- The graduate is qualified for the wrong job
- The graduate is not a sparkling acquisition
- Racial prejudice plays a role.
I would put my money on the first reason. The last one rarely affects deserving black graduates. Rather the opposite, since they are in fact highly favoured by the steeply tilted legislative playing field. So Mr Zwane is clearly out of his depth. Perhaps the wrong person is washing the cars?
