Johannesburg - South African Reserve Bank governor Gill Marcus said on Wednesday reducing chronic unemployment on a sustainable basis is the single most important economic objective.
Government data a day earlier showed unemployment was at 25.6% in the second quarter and that about 4.7 million South African job seekers were without work, the highest figure in the survey's five-year history.
