The irreverent yet thought-provoking billboards respond directly to President Zuma’s 2014 election manifesto speech promising the creation of six million jobs in the next five years – a lofty commitment to be sure.

“In a country where the unemployment rate affects almost a quarter of the population, the prospect of more jobs is one we are very passionate about,” says KC Makhubele, managing executive for Marketing and Strategic Relationships at Quest Staffing Solutions.

“We see the direct impact that unemployment has on society and the desperation it breeds. We are in the business of placing the right people in the right jobs, and want to communicate through our billboards that we readily accept and support the latest job creation commitment by South Africa’s ruling party. Our expertise is to effectively recruit and place talent in a way that assists employers to perform better and at the same time contribute to our economy,” concludes Makhubele.
