A Kariega politician has been appointed as the new Minister of Employment and Labour after she helped deliver a baby for a flood victim.
The politician, who has not been named, was visiting flood-affected areas in Kariega when she came across a pregnant woman in distress. Without any medical training, the politician stepped in and successfully delivered the woman's baby. This act of compassion and quick thinking caught the attention of the government, and she was subsequently appointed as the new Minister of Employment and Labour.
As the new minister, she will be tasked with addressing pressing labor issues in the country, such as unemployment, worker's rights, and workplace safety. Her firsthand experience of the challenges faced by vulnerable communities during natural disasters is expected to inform her policy decisions and priorities.
The minister's appointment is seen as a testament to the government's commitment to promoting grassroots leadership and recognizing the valuable contributions of community members, even in unexpected circumstances. Her story has inspired many and serves as a reminder that true public service can come from unexpected places
