      <video:title><![CDATA[South African unemployment rate rises to 33.6% in Q2]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[South Africa's unemployment crisis deepened in the second quarter, with the official unemployment rate rising to 33.6 per cent. The number of unemployed people increased by 345,000 to 8.5 million, while employment declined marginally to 16.7 million.
Discouraged job seekers decreased, suggesting that more people may have returned to actively looking for work, but the economy is still not creating jobs fast enough to absorb them. Lisette IJssel de Schepper, Chief Economist at the Bureau for Economic Research, joins CNBC Africa to unpack the numbers.
