Oooh — classic Neva Makgetla! (“Jobless figures reflect our destructive past, not poor data”, June 24).

Spoiler alert — the destructive past ended more than 30 years ago. Or perhaps that is when it began?

We can’t keep on blaming previous administrations. Let’s rather roll up our sleeves and get stuck in, even at this late stage.

Time to use our backbones rather than our wishbones, don’t you think?

PS — you’ll notice I didn’t mention BEE as part of the problem.
