UMnuz Matthew Parks weCosatu uxwayise ngokuthi amanani okuqwala izintaba azofana nokunquma isiguli ikhanda ukuze selaphe i-migraine, iningi labasebenzi selicwile ezikweletini.
I-Reserve Bank inyuse i-repo rate yafinyelela ku-7% ngoLwesine, kwathi ukwehla kwamandla emali kufinyelele ku-4% ngoMbasa ngemuva kokuthi amanani kaphethiloli ehle ngo-11.4% ngenyanga eyodwa.
ICosatu iyibonile inkinga ingakaqali. Futhi balwa nayo.
Ngaphambi kwesimemezelo sangoLwesine, umfelandawonye wabasebenzi uxwayise iBhange Lombuso laseNingizimu Afrika ngokuthi ukukhuphula inzalo kuzoba kuyinto okungamele yenzeke. ICosatu ithe imbangela yokunyuka kwamanani entengo yimpi yaseMiddle East, hhayi ukuthi abantu baseNingizimu Afrika basebenzise imali eningi. Ukujezisa izisebenzi ngalokho bekungawenzi umqondo ophusile.
“Ukukhama abasebenzi nabathengi asebevele bedonsa kanzima kungaba nengqondo kwezomnotho njengokunquma isiguli ikhanda ukuze kuxazululwe i-migraine,” kusho uMatthew Parks, umxhumanisi weCosatu ePhalamende.
I-Reserve Bank inyuse ama-rates noma kunjalo.
UMbusi uLesetja Kganyago umemezele ngoLwesine ukuthi iKomidi Lomgomo Wezezimali linyuse irepo rate ngamaphoyinti angu-25 yaya ku-7%, kusukela ngomhlaka-29 kuNhlaba. Izinga lemali ebolekisayo eliyinhloko, elinquma ukuthi yini oyikhokhayo emalini ebolekiwe yendlu kanye nezimali zemoto, likhuphuke lafinyelela ku-10.50%. Amalungu amakomiti amane kwayisithupha avotele ukunyuswa kwezimali.
I-trigger kwaba uphethiloli. Emuva kokwehla ngo-8.7% ngoNdasa, amanani kaphethiloli ehle ngo-11.4% ngoMbasa, okungenye yokunyuka okukhulu kakhulu kwenyanga eyodwa emlandweni.
Lokho kwenze ukwehla kwamandla emali kwabathengi basuka ku-3.1% baya ku-4.0% ngenyanga eyodwa.
UKganyago uxwayise ngokuthi isimo singase sibe sibi kakhulu. Uma ukungqubuzana kwe-Middle East kuqhubeka, ukwehla kwamandla emali kungase kufinyelele ku-5% futhi amanani angakhuphuka ngokuphindwe kabili. Engeza isomiso esinamandla sika-El Niño phezu kwalokho, futhi ukwehla kwamandla emali kungase kukhuphuke ngaphezu kuka-6%, okudinga ukukhuphuka amahlandla amathathu.
UParks uthe i-avareji yabasebenzi baseNingizimu Afrika sebevele bondla izihlobo eziyisikhombisa, kanti abaningi basebenzisa imali efinyelela ku-40% womholo wabo kwezokuthutha kuphela. Iningi uthe liboleka ukuze nje lithenge ukudla nogesi.
Isinyathelo esilandelayo seBhange Lombuso sincike emananini kawoyela, isimo sezulu, kanye nempi iNingizimu Afrika engakwazi ukuyilawula.
Esithombeni esingenhla: UMbusi weBhange Lombuso laseNingizimu Afrika uLesetja Kganyago ememezela isinqumo sentela ngoLwesine.
