Fellow South Africans if we don't hold our government accountable, South Africa will end up like Zimbabwe. It's our duty to not allow politicians to distroy our beloved Country. πΏπ¦πΏπ¦

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

BREAKING NEWS: Department of Home Affairs allegedly forcing digitisation stuff to be outsourced to a private company.
The Department of Home Affairs, Minister Leon Schreiber and his team of directors want to allegedly outsource the current digitisation staff of between 1 200 and 1 500 to a private company, Phetogo.
The employees have been under the DHA for 3 years, going on 4 years now. They are allegedly earning a salary of R5 000 without any UIF or any benefits. These are graduates who hold qualifications. Now the DHA wants to outsource them to a private company under the same conditions of exploitation.
On the 24 March 2025, police were called in one of the hubs at Silverton, Pretoria because the employees refuse to work under such conditions.
All the hubs were closed down and we were told to go home and wait for further communication. Allegedly they are threatening to fire the stuff and appoint new staff if they refuse to sign with Phetogo a private company. The stuff refuse to be exploited and outsourced.
Today we met with over 150 employees of the Department of Home Affairs who are responsible for digitising more than 350 million departmental records. Theyβve been abused and exploited by the department for 3 years.

EFF Member of Parliament, Hon. @HhMkhaliphi, reiterates the arrogance of the Ministerβs response when questioned about the letter the EFF sent to him. If there was information needed to make sense of the letter, the Minister or his department should have responded and requested further clarity during the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs.
She also raises the issue of digitalisation and questions how it will assist the 9.8 million unemployed people.
