# The Afrika Mayibuye Movement has condemned South Africa’s persistently high unemployment levels, saying racial inequalities in employment remain unacceptably high. The official unemployment rate edged higher to 33.7-percent in the third quarter of this year, as recorded by the Quarterly Labour Force Survey. The movement says the unemployment crisis is rooted in the historical economic injustices of colonialism and apartheid. It argues that, despite political freedom, the economic exclusion of the African majority and other historically oppressed communities remains largely unresolved.
