ActionSA has raised concerns over the latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey figures from Statistics South Africa, which show that Johannesburg lost 28,000 jobs between April and June 2026.
The party says the figures point to a broader failure by government to address unemployment, poverty and economic insecurity. ActionSA argues that the impact of job losses extends beyond statistics, affecting household incomes, livelihoods and the ability of small businesses to survive amid rising operating costs.
The party has questioned Johannesburg’s position as South Africa’s economic powerhouse, arguing that the city requires stronger leadership and a clear strategy focused on investment, economic growth, safety, infrastructure and job creation.
