As for low time guys without jobs, it happens like that all over. Reserving jobs will only damage future prospects in the outside market and is nothing but a short term measure. The AIC just pointed out by the SACAA is a short term step but will backfire if it's implemented. It basically says only SA citizens/passport holders are to be issued with a SA licence.
