We propose a job seekers exemption certificate to allow the measure to be suspended

Unemployed people have for some time been appealing to the Human Rights Commission to come to their aid by insisting that the provisions in the Bill of Rights regarding the rights, as listed above, be respected. This is a plea for the HRC to come to the aid of the unemployed, utilising the Constitutional power it possesses to have removed the laws and regulations that are unconstitutional in their effect and have caused mass unemployment. destitution and misery in South Africa.

We have been calling on this government to create a special dispensation for the unemployed people, a dispensation that will allow unemployed people to knock on doors, speak to potential employers and make arrangements with them, an approach that is not allowed by the labour laws.

No one should have the right to tell an unemployed person at what price they can sell their labour. We are in the middle of a crisis of unemployment and the unemployed people are crying for freedom. Give them back their freedom, so that they can make their own decisions about their own lives and the lives of their families.

A caring government would listen to the unemployed people whom they claim to represent and put to the test the proposed solutions that will address the scourge of unemployment. The government must write our proposed Job Seekers Exemption Certificate into law and any unemployed individual must be able to voluntarily apply for it.

We call on Ramaphosa to ignore the politicisation of the unemployment crisis and involve the unemployed in the decision-making needed to solve the unemployment scourge.

Our Langeberg Unemployed Forum have noted with great concern the bullying of businesses in Gauteng by some who say they represent the unemployed people of South Africa. They demand that unemployed people must be employed and want to use force to make employers agree to their demands. We want to state categorically that we associate ourselves with the struggles of the unemployed, wherever they might be, but we disagree with anyone who wants to use force to achieve their objective.

Langeberg Unemployed Forum calls for a reversal of tragic, calamitous and outrageous national jobless situation

No one should have the right to tell an unemployed person at what price they can sell their labour. We are in the middle of a crisis of unemployment and the unemployed people are crying for freedom. Give them back their freedom, we say, so that they can make their own decisions about their own lives and the lives of their families.

Are our members of Parliament not ashamed that our country has the largest percentage of unemployed people in the world? Are they happy to know that SA also has the largest percentage of unemployed people? And to add to that, the number of young people who are not being educated is increasing. The only way to stop this creeping national paralysis is to get the nation working. And the best way to do that is with JSEC.

Until the people of South Africa understand why the cancer of poverty is making searching in rubbish dumps the only way for some of our unfortunate brothers and sisters to stay alive, this shocking blight on our country will be with us.

We repeat our request to the SAHRC to investigate our complaint that the rights of what is now 11.9 million unemployed people. The rights of our people are being violated by a supposed democratic parliament and government that inflicts misery on the unemployed and their natural employers, small businesses, and households.

Shocking stats reveal that 75% of young South Africans are unemployed

Truth must be told, those we voted into the positions of power do not have the interests of the unemployed at heart. We are watching as they squander state resources for the benefit of their families and friends.

We will not rest until the Commission does a full investigation of our detailed complaint and sends us a proper reply that we can share with the millions of unfortunate unemployed people of our nation.

Unemployed people will not celebrate Freedom Day until they are free from the chains of unemployment and until they are free to negotiate the basic conditions of employment and wages with the potential employer and agree on a contract that best suits them both without any interference from any third party.

The Langeberg Unemployed Forum calls for the unemployed to be exempted from labour
laws, including the National Minimum Wage Act. We looked for a solution that would not
cause any harm to people who already have jobs but would allow the unemployed to get
jobs, and found that the only way to make this work is to give the unemployed the right to
decide for themselves what level of wage and working conditions they are prepared to
accept.

Though the argument put forward is about benefiting lower-income people, it discriminates against the unemployed while unfairly protecting only the employed

The Job Seekers Exemption Certificate (JSEC) idea has been around for a long time. It was first presented to President Thabo Mbeki, who passed it on to the Department of Labour. But nothing was done with it. It seems that it is only when you are unemployed that you can understand that it will be like holding a piece of gold in your hand.
