The crisis did not spare South Africa. Whereas employment showed an increase till the last quarter of 2008, a plunge set in thereafter. The economy shrank by an estimated 1.8 per cent with mining and manufacturing particularly hard hit showing a decrease in output of seven and twelve per cent respectively (Gordhan 2010: 5). By the middle of 2010 over 1.1 million people lost their job since the beginning of 2009 (Statsa 2009 & 2010: vi). Unemployment rose to 25.3 % and if one includes the people who are discouraged from looking for a job, even to 36.5 % (Statsa 2010: v; see also Verick 2010a).
