“The economic impact of the coronavirus on South Africa has every potential to be deeper and far more long term than the short term implications of the virus,” this is how John Steenhuisen opened his video today on Social Media in relation to the COVID-19 epidemic.
Steenhuisen expressed his opinion on how we cannot afford to not support small, medium and micro-enterprises closing their doors. He further expressed that there will be more people in the unemployment queues and fewer opportunities for South African’s because of this.
The DA has proposed that they have plans to apply short term interventions on the economy to help keep business doors open, they will present their ideas to President Ramaphosa in a meeting tomorrow.
