eNCA reports that the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport did not meet a single target in its mandate to create jobs for unemployed people in the province, the Democratic Alliance (DA) said on Sunday.  

For the third quarter of the 2017/2018 financial year, the department was supposed to create 40 job opportunities for youth, 22 for women, and four for people with disabilities in construction, but this did not happen.  DA MPL Fred Nel challenged MEC Ismail Vadi to ensure his department met all the job creation targets set for the 2017/2018 financial year.  "The DA believes that it is the responsibility of all the government departments to create job opportunities,” Nel stated.
