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











How can Department of Home Affairs outsource such a big project? The Department of Home Affairs' digitisation project has been embroiled in controversy following mass protests by young graduates and concerns over the reappointment of a previously dismissed service provider, Phetogo Digital Transformation, despite poor performance issues. The graduates are demanding permanent employment within the department rather than being managed by private labour brokers. Workers are frustrated with their roles being reduced to month-to-month contracts under private management, despite handling sensitive national records for years on a low stipend of approximately R5,500. Protesters argue that handling sensitive civic records warrants direct government employment to ensure the security of South Africans' personal data. @GovernmentZA #NoOutSourcing
