Implied meaning quotes:

Using your critical reading skills, explain in your OWN WORDS what the implied meaning is of the following two quotes from the article:

 

1) “Direct foreign investments are a problem as once they have got majority shareholding they start cutting jobs and increase the challenges that our country is facing, tackling high unemployment, poverty and inequality”, said Saccawu’s Khulekani Ngubane. (Paragraph 9, second sentence)                                                                                                      (5marks)

 

2) But its performance against other South African incumbents has been less than stellar. Now, after nine years since Walmart’s acquisition, Massmart will add to the country’s unemployment rate because of under performance in a weak economy and tough competition. (Paragraph 1, sentence 3 & 4) [unique_solution]                                                       (5marks)

 

 

2) Critical discussion                                                                                            (20 marks)
