      <video:title><![CDATA[Should South Africa have a minimum wage? ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[South Africa has had a national minimum wage since 2019, and the latest hike to R30.23 per hour is part of an ongoing policy debate about fair pay vs. employment access. Critics warn wage floors could price out low-skill workers in a market where unemployment — especially youth unemployment — remains one of the gravest economic challenges. Meanwhile, unions view minimum wages and adjustments from time to time as vital in a country with persistently one of the highest inequality rates in the world.  
Joining CNBC Africa for this debate is Mathew Parks, Parliamentary Coordinator at the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and Gerhard Papenfus, CEO of the National Employers Association of South Africa (NEASA).
