Zuma ‘concerned’ global crisis could hit SAfrican economy

Ruling ANC party leader Jacob Zuma said Saturday he was concerned the global economic slump would hurt South Africa’s economy and promised to find ways to protect jobs.

“We are concerned about the potential impact of the global economic crisis,” Zuma said shortly after election authorities confirmed the victory of his African National Congress in Wednesday’s general elections.

“We will work with all stakeholders, especially business and labour, to find ways to prevent and cushion our people against job losses and other difficulties that may arise,” he said in a nationally televised speech.

Zuma took control of the African National Congress in December 2007 on the back of strong support from the labour movement and the communist party, which has raised speculation of a left-leaning tilt in the new government.

Zuma, who is now set to be elected president when parliament convenes on May 6, sought to reassure the public that the new administration would offer continuity.

“There will be no surprises in the next administration’s programme of action,” he said.
