00:06Newcastle is a small industrial town in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
00:11The town is best known for its steel making as it is home to the largest steel production plant
00:16in the country. But Newcastle also has a thriving clothing and textile sector
00:21with over 300 factories based in two main industrial zones of Matateni and Riverside.
00:28Today, the situation has changed significantly. This factory in Matateni has lost a quarter of its workforce.
00:36It's a difficult time for the Newcastle clothing and textile sector. It's a sector that depends
00:41heavily on skilled labor coming from other Southern African countries. As you can see,
00:46a lot of the machines are lying idle here because many of the foreigners have left.
00:52Because I also shot some skilled workers now, so my production is not like before being
00:58running smoothly. And it affected my delivery as well, because maybe before I can deliver on time,
01:05but now maybe I have to be rushing too tightly, you know, so it's impact one.
01:11Number two, I think it's maybe we're starting training, training at a time. But if training the people
01:18maybe affect my quality and my efficiency, you know, all those will be affected my business.
01:24Number two, I see.
01:27Now let's look at how much of this came up as a home, but if you don't remember
01:29anything just as high as aÅ star as a player?
