# Business Leadership South Africa says the country’s unemployment rate of 32.9-percent reflects an economy suffocating under structural inefficiencies that urgent reforms could fix. The organisation launched its Reform Tracker last week, monitoring the government’s implementation of priority economic, governance, and criminal justice reforms. In her weekly newsletter, BLSA CEO Busisiwe Mavuso says the unemployment crisis demands urgent action to preserve the country’s stability and prosperity. She says high unemployment fuels inequality, undermines social cohesion, and erodes faith in democratic institutions.
