Hundreds of Tshwane residents picket at Lion Match in Rosslyn

Hundreds of Tshwane residents have gathered outside a company called Lion Match in Rosslyn under the banner of Tshwane Bahlali Dudula to urge the company to prioritise South Africans. This as they claim that the company has employment of 80% foreign nationals and 20% South Africans. SABC News reporter Ofentse Setimo is on that story and joins us from the Rosslyn Industrial, North of Pretoria.

I thank the shops and companies in Cape town they do employ south Africans more than foreigners if they want to protest they will just do it for funny otherwise the malls are full of local and I think all the province must learn from that

Where should south Africans go for a job

[promisemhlahlo]

Fighting for jobs! that's a waist of time, let's fight for our land back, we won't be hungry again, we won't have black on black violence again, we won't be crying for slavery jobs again.

Our government is always failing us how can dey want matric from us whereas u have foreigners

People should rather be protesting outside the Union building and asking government why they have failed to create a growing economy which would then reduce unemployment.
But the the majority voted for this useless ANC and don't want to admit their own failings.

plz employ south African's first if u do this unemployment will drop rand will get stronger law and order will be reestablished

You want to be hired by force by virtue of being South African?? You do not realize that employers hire people by merit, experience, and dedication? These protests will only scare away investors and South Africa will sink deeper into economic crisis.
