Home Affairs plans to launch branches in these five shopping malls
“Since the malls still have to move some tenants around to make way for Home Affairs, we will install our equipment there around September this year. We shall start with the Menlyn Mall in Pretoria and then roll out to the rest,” he said.
When it comes to staffing at Home Affairs offices, Motsoaledi said the department had complained at length that its front offices are only 39% staffed, contributing to long queues. He said the decline in staffing began when National Treasury set a limit on the budget for employee compensation. “Hence, when people left the department by natural attrition, they were not replaced. Furthermore, population growth was not catered for,” Motsoaledi said.Motsoaledi said the reallocation of departmental budgets to help health facilities fight Covid-19 had also impacted his department.
“We have been awarded R266 million, which will help push our staffing level to at least 42% by hiring an additional 764 employees,” Motsoaledi said.Now read:
