Labor Wants a Coronavirus Stimulus From S. African Government
JOHANNESBURG (Capital Markets in Africa) – South Africa’s biggest labor group wants the government to come up with a stimulus plan to prepare for the impact of the coronavirus, potentially stretching the country’s already strained finances.
“We will be pushing for an economic intervention plan to prepare for the impact” of the virus, he said.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said last week that his administration’s drive to turn the economy around is being frustrated by the pandemic and other factors beyond its control. In South Africa, 24 people have so far tested positive for the disease, the most of any country in sub-Saharan Africa.
Africa’s most-industrialized economy has twice slipped into recession since Ramaphosa took office in February 2018.
