CABINET ministers and their deputies jointly gave R51481 from their salaries to the Job Creation Trust on Wednesday. Presenting Congress of South African Trade Unions president John Gomomo with the donation at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Deputy President Thabo Mbeki said: “I am very pleased to hand over this cheque of a lot of money.” The trust was set up after last year’s Presidential Jobs Summit. It is being run by three trade union federations — Cosatu, the National Council of Trade Unions and the Federation of Unions of South Africa. The money will be used for job creation programmes, especially among the youth, women and rural communities.
