Concern over engineers leaving South Africa

[@Macedonia270]

BBBEE, EE and EWC... in addition to the highest tax rates in the world for relatively low salaries.... These are the reasons for the Engineers leaving.... Also, salaries outside of South Africa are much, much higher and the taxes are much lower than in South Africa.... Any Engineer who chooses to work in South Africa, must be stupid....which is ideal for BBBEE and EE appointments....

[@sibusisodube6835]

Many of you former colonisers still think the world revolves around you. Hundreds of Black engineers are working overseas due to many reasons including lack of opportunities and growth particularly in the PRIVATE sector. The BEE bullshit has started to sound like a scratched record.

[@troothhertz6297]

Agreed

[@AndrewMcFarlane_1]

What do we do to fix this, creative solutions??? Easy answer: vote ANC out

[@shafiyaalgiquadra1105]

Any suggestions besides the DA and parties who would confederate with the DA?

[@AndrewMcFarlane_1]

@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 Any party that believes in liberty, law and order, human rights and self determination. That cuts the EFF, ANC and other similar parties out

[@letsosacharlesmichaellesal5974]

I agree but that's also part of the solution. After doing that then create Non-government dependent facilities. Otherwise few years from now we'll come back to the same problem if we continue to depend on government

[@AndrewMcFarlane_1]

@@letsosacharlesmichaellesal5974 that's only true if the same administration remains which is incompetent. If new and competent administration is brought in or the current upskilled and motivated then you won't have the same problems. One can see this in Tshwane where the political leadership is different but the ANC aligned administration still is incompetent. It will take years to improve Tshwane. Other cities will take longer

I'm an Engineer and been in the job market for over six months. one of the reason I'm thinking of leaving

Yep, the 1st sign that a country is failing is when the young graduates and other highly qualified people leave their country to pursue a career in a healthier environment. Other indicators are personal wealth flowing out of the country, disinvestment together with foreign investment slowing down. Our government lacks much intellect so only lives for the day so they aren't really concerned with the knock on consequences of highly qualified people emegrating. Note ... This group when leaving the country directly reduces the revenue that state coffers so desperately needs to provide social welfare for those with no skills, unemployed and elderly . Possibly, many if they did not leave would start businesses providing much employment for the people. Sadly, this fact is inconsequential to the state as they are disadvantaged by their lack of vision and intellect.

[@Concerned36]

He lost me the moment he mentioned state capture. South Africa is 10 times worse than under Zuma. This government is just incompetent. The economy is a mess that is why skilled people are leaving. This hate of Zuma will not fix Rama’s failures. Zuma left years ago.

What a shame, the very people that our country need the most, scary 😢

[@saamstaan6540]

We don't need engineers,our government has superior logic😂😂😂

Talking dumb go to school so that you will undersand your self

[@ZandileMakhanya-y4r]

There is no profesional engineer from zimbabwe who can come to SA and stop going to westerns for big salaries come to sa for low salaries

[@JohnMuller-l2q]

Why only Engineers are leaving? All professionals have the same problem and they are also leaving. Investors are leaving as well.

Cry the Beloved Country!!

[@jagathmadona4082]

Headlines...concern... please tell me which is concerned because our government clearly doesn't care .

[@chizama9433]

Open up space to train us young engineering graduates, we are having lack of oppoturities to train young talent. These old heads wanna die in their positions!!!!

[@christinevandermerwe-gl2sm]

Why concerned? Anc won't allow them to work in SA so obviously they have no choice and have to work in other countries.

[@JulianVince]

" Anc won't allow them to work in SA" Can you say a little more about this? I've heard about the ANC's removal of _certain types of people_ from civic and legislative roles. I've gathered that they have been similarly antagonistic to _certain types of people_ with cognitively demanding professional competencies in post apartheid SA. They generally don't report upon this in the West.

[@thabangtladi8057]

Zimbabwean engineers are so brainless thats why they think their skills are need in SA more then in their own falling apart country called Zim, we dont need such stupid foreign workers in SA
