@Ngangolwandle7 commented:

"Govt should never be about creating jobs. Instead, the government should create a conducive environment for job creation. Municipalities shouldn’t be treated as a hiring place; municipalities are there to ensure functionality. Hire a few groups of competent people. Don't hire the whole country."

@ZweLeth29101425 responded:

"He said nothing about creating jobs. He just spoke of the EFF policy of insourcing. Insourcing security guards, cleaners & bricklayers doesn't create new jobs, bro. This is what happens when you take a celebrity sgora and expect it to miraculously run a R65.5 billion budget city."
