Jolene Venter: "I would try to give more job opportunities to poor people and I would also not implement the Fourth Industrial Revolution because it is going to create high unemployment rates."

Nkosinathi Masilela: “I would cut out salaries from the president to the deputy ministers because they earn a lot from the taxpayers’ money and I would use the money for the poor people.”

Phelisa Nyalambisi: “I would start by giving the poor some food parcels and then re-open some factories and firms so that I can create employment.”

Lindiwe Hlatshwayo: “Regarding NSFAS, I would make sure that the funds reach the students’ accounts by the start of the year to avoid students dropping out.”

Melissa Du Plessis: “Racism and hatred between people. I would jail those who are being rasist towards others for two to five years.”

Leshia Last: “Have more TVET colleges for the underprivileged to go to so that they can be able to get skills.”

Nombuso Radebe: “I would work more on load-shedding because it affects businesses. I believe that if businesses are not affected by load-shedding they would save a lot of money and create more jobs.”

Mari Underhay: “I would fix the roads and I would make sure that there are fewer potholes because potholes destroy cars.”
