DJ Shimza voiced out on the reason behind the growing rate of unemployment in the country but secludes the government.
While many are quick to call out the government for the reason behind unemployment, the DJ calls out technology and it’s gotten the attention of many of his followers.
A Quarterly Labour Force Survey released by Statistics South Africa on Tuesday found that the unemployment rate climbed from 27,6% in the first quarter of 2019 to 29% in the second quarter.
Shimza agreed with sentiments that economy was struggling and said a big part of it was that “factories would rather have programmed machinery to do the job that a human would ordinarily do.”
He added that often humans were creating the machines and robots that could eventually take their jobs and said it was a difficult situation to be in.
Our biggest threat to more job losses is not the Government, it’s technology.

Someone has to build that technology. Someone has to test that technology. And once it works, someone has to maintain that technology. Those are the jobs that will be/are created by technology.
If you want employment, learn how to use technology and not compete with technology

So what policy will the government enforce when companies stop manufacturing the traditional things we use? Live in the Stone Age while other countries move with the times? ?

So we must sit in stone ages because you want to save jobs? The phone you are using today has in some way killed a job papa, it’s not a choice it’s where the world is going unfortunately
