Dear Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, i am currently struggling to find a job, all the employment I have been applying for require alot of experience which I do not have. I went to the University studies with the hope of getting a permanent employment after graduating. It is very difficult living in a household were no one is employed whilst I have my degree. This is very dissapointing and feel like the Department is really failing alot of us social workers. It is now three years without employment and this in return causes alot of depression. Please consider creating employment for more social workers, because we are really suffering. We are hopeless.
