MEC Tonny Rachoene welcomed the new recruits in his department, saying the significance of the appointments was that they were mostly young.

Limpopo had a 1.2% quarter-on-quarter increase in its unemployment rate as reported in the Stats SA Labour Force Survey recently. But, overall, there was a 1.4% decrease in unemployment across the country.

Rachoene announced in August that his department would create jobs for more than 300 people across the province's five regions of Sekhukhune, Vhembe, Capricorn, Waterberg and Mopani.

As he welcomed the 174 new employees on Monday, he said more jobs would be created in roads and infrastructure.
