What might happen to South Africa's service sectors if migrant workers were barred from returning? Could local skills fill that gap?

It's interesting that supporters focus on shortages in construction and agriculture, yet unemployment remains painfully high among locals.

I think say blaming locals for the shortage no make sense when proper training and incentives never even start.

Businesses should invest in apprenticeship programmes and on-the-job training to boost local labour capacity before recruiting from abroad.
