Unemployment a reality for all
The Handjie Vol team is hard at work in Seemeeupark, Welkom. “The roads are in a very bad condition. The lack of maintenance is everywhere, and neglect – it is a never-ending story. When looking at the team, it’s a reflection of the need, the whole team is made up of people without jobs. Sadly, it is the young people. The boys have passed their matric but are unemployed. This is not a question of race, unemployment affects everyone,” says Jan Jacobs of Handjie Vol. From the left are Marle Deru, Neo Broems, Anton Erasmus, Gwen Blignault, Andile Xuma, and Edwin Erasmus.
