SA will continue to see hike in unemployment for foreseeable future : Economist

SA will continue to see hike in unemployment for foreseeable future : Economist Updated Nomfundo Ngcobo Share this: South Africa s unemployment rate will continue on an upward trajectory until the economy is structurally changed. Looking for a job / iStock That s the view of economist Francois Stofberg. Figures released by Stats SA on Tuesday revealed joblessness went up by 32.6% in the first quarter of the year, the highest since 2008. Stofberg says the increase of 0.1 of a percentage point compared to the final quarter of 2020 didn t come as a surprise. But the figure was expected to be higher. Until you can get government to do what they are supposed to do and allow the private sector to do what they are supposed to do you will continue to see unemployment increase for the foreseeable future, says Stofberg.

Fuel tax increases to hit motorists in South Africa from April

Fuel tax increases to hit motorists in South Africa from April Subscribe The National Treasury has announced an increase in the general fuel levy and Road Accident Fund levy to take effect from 7 April 2021. The increase will see motorists pay an inflation-related increase of 15 cents/litre in the general fuel levy and a higher-than-inflation increase of 11 cents/litre in the Road Accident Fund levy. While the increases are largely in line with expectations leading up to the budget speech, further increases in the fuel levy will likely have inflationary effects and increase transportation costs. Dr Francois Stofberg, senior economist at the Efficient Group, said that around 38% of the current petrol price –  roughly R5.88 – is made up of these two taxes.
