@Leon_Schreib #DigitisationProject

Before daybreak this morning, I was on the ground as Operation New Broom swept through Sandton, Johannesburg, arresting dozens of illegal immigrants for deportation. We continue to scale up enforcement, including through the use of drones and biometrics, to restore rule of law 🇿🇦

@News24 @Leon_Schreib He must sort out the #DigitisationProject his running away from!!! @Leon_Schreib the graduates are still waiting!!!

Schreiber unveils ‘most fundamental’ overhaul of SA immigration system brnw.ch/21x1pVi

@HomeAffairsSA This is bigger than us. This is about: Labour rights Accountability Fair treatment We are not asking for favours. We are asking for what the law already protects.

@HomeAffairsSA Under Labour Relations Act Section 197: 👉 Workers cannot be transferred without protecting their rights. This looks like outsourcing to avoid responsibility. @EFFSouthAfrica @Julius_S_Malema @ThapeloMogale_ @PSAFLIVE

@HomeAffairsSA DHA says digitisation is the future… But refuses to employ the people doing that work permanently? 👉 That’s a clear contradiction. You can’t run a permanent national function using “temporary workers” for years and then walk away.

@HomeAffairsSA 👉 Our work is ongoing = misuse of contracts. The department renewed our contracts multiple times. Under Labour Relations Act Section 186(1)(b) this creates a: 👉 reasonable expectation of permanent employment Now they deny it? That’s unfair labour practice.

@HomeAffairsSA Section 23 of the Constitution of SA guarantees: 👉 Fair labour practices 3+ years of insecure contracts, no benefits, pressure to sign NOT fair. Ongoing issues with payslips, overtime, and transparency also raise concerns under the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.

@HomeAffairsSA We were hired, trained, and managed within DHA systems. We even performed official civic duties (2023–2024). 👉 But now suddenly we are “not their employees”? Now we are being pushed to third parties (Phetogo/Faranani). @eNCA @SABCNews

@HomeAffairsSA Here is the commitment the DHA what’s to continue, on a contract “outsourcing’’ project basis while providing unemployed with 4yrs experience in the job selling them to a private company

@HomeAffairsSA Let’s deal with facts, not statements. We have worked for 3+ years continuously, doing core departmental work — digitising over 350 million records. #HomeAffairs #LabourRights #SouthAfrica #Digitisation #FairWork #JusticeForWorkers #EFF #SIU #Actionsa

@HomeAffairsSA This is not temporary work. In terms of the Labour Relations Act Section 198B: Fixed-term contracts cannot be used indefinitely for permanent work.@EFFSouthAfrica @HermanMashaba #HomeAffairs #LabourRights #SouthAfrica #Digitisation #FairWork #JusticeForWorkers #EFF #SIU

@HomeAffairsSA We call for intervention from: @CCMA @SIU Labour authorities Final point: 👉 The work is permanent 👉 The need is ongoing 👉 The workers must be treated fairly #HomeAffairs #LabourRights #SouthAfrica #Digitisation #FairWork #JusticeForWorkers #EFF #SIU

@Knick_RSA @DefendSouthsa Please don’t waste your time on him, he is one useless minister by all accounts so far

This one brings trauma to think this department used Youth to gain the state funds to their pockets 🤮 @MYANC and @Our_DA . Than you act like everything it’s normal after dumping those graduates to the private sector.

@HomeAffairsSA I left the Digitisation Project in May 2025—R5000 stipend, no benefits, no future. DHA wanted graduates but paid less, while Dept of Sport, Arts & Culture pays better with lower requirements (even ABET). Something is not right. This project raised serious concerns.

@berlinamonase7 @MSphephilem @HomeAffairsSA @HomeAffairsSA has been scamming us out of employment!!!

@DHAGrad @MSphephilem @HomeAffairsSA We were also told that, imagine an experience for a whole year that you can never apply to.

Home Affairs clarifies contract status of Digitisation Project graduates 26 March 2026

@theo60299925257 @FulufheloM18269 @HomeAffairsSA At that bloody hot Monalisa wedding and conference venue in Boksburg. That is clearly marked it can only accommodate 1000 people.

@FulufheloM18269 @HomeAffairsSA They must also tell how we suffered in that bloody training, how can you accommodate and train 1.4k people in one training center, how people used to queue for hours to get food. We had people who used to faint because of the environment and we were told to stop acting special.

@MSphephilem @HomeAffairsSA Let’s not even go there, We practically helped open the Menlyn branch. When there were posts the manager said we can’t be shortlisted because our qualifications are in IT not Public Admin. 😅 @HomeAffairsSA “home of corruption”

@DHAGrad @HomeAffairsSA Not only digitizing records but also served Civic Services work at local DHA offices. Doing everything as DHA officials.

@HomeAffairsSA According to official plans, a second cohort of trainees was scheduled to undergo training from 15 January to 19 April 2024. However, to date: ❌ No training was conducted ❌ No accommodation was provided ❌ No training facilities were arranged
