The unemployment rate nationally decreased by 1.3 percentage points to 31.9% in the third quarter.
Ntuli said, in a recent statement, that the results underscore growing confidence in KZN's economy and the positive impact of the Government of Provincial Unity (GPU), which has brought stability, collaboration, and results-driven governance to the province.
