@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

DA Minister of Home Affairs @Leon_Schreib is exploiting DHA digitisation staff, who have been receiving a stipend of R5000 for more than 3 years in the government department with no benefits (UIF, medical aid, etc). Instead of employing them permanently after more than 3 years of service, they are being outsourced to a private company (Phetogo) on a 3-month contract with the same conditions. The digitisation staff are young graduates with diplomas, degrees and honours, but they are not taken seriously. Last week on 18 March 2026, they marched to the head office of Home Affairs and the Unions building to submit a memorandum. They were told they would receive feedback within 7 days, only to be instructed to stay home and forced to sign the contract with the private company under the same conditions. According to the labour acts and the constitution, they are more than qualified to be employed permanently. The DA government is giving their friends tenders. The digitisation employees do not want to be outsourced after working so hard under the government department. Away with outsourcing!
