The programme is designed to employ 10 000 young unemployed graduates.
The Department of Home Affairs is under pressure to permanently employ thousands of contract workers under the Digitisation Programme. The programme is designed to employ 10 000 young unemployed graduates to digitise over 350 million civic paper records.
Civic group, Soil of Africa, which represents the workers, says it’s unfair for the department to downgrade these employees to month-to-month contracts. It is planning a march to the department’s offices and the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Wednesday to demand permanent employment. Soil of Africa Chairperson, King Bongani Ramontja says, “We are fully ready, geared up to make sure that we deliver what is very important and key. The backbone of Home Affairs is the digitalisation workers who need to be insourced.” Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.
