Over 1700 graduates who were hired by DHA and even have Persal numbers are being sold to a doggy private service provider called Phetogo (Faranani IT Services) by a DA Minister of Privatization called Leon Schreiber for a four months contract after exploiting the graduates.......
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.
Hundreds of young workers employed through a third-party company to digitise files at the Department of Home Affairs took to the streets of Pretoria, calling for permanent employment within the state. The protesters argue that their roles are essential and should never have been outsourced in the first place.
Bongani Ramontjane, president of the pressure group Soil of Africa, criticised the arrangement, stating that there was no justification for outsourcing the service when the government could have hired the workers directly. @ThisKg #PretoriaProtest #YouthEmployment #Outsourcing #HomeAffairs #JobSecurity #SouthAfrica #PublicSector #WorkersRights

EFF Member of Parliament, Hon. Thapelo Mogale, raises concerns about the employment conditions of workers at the Department of Home Affairs. These workers are employed under a private company, and their working conditions are unacceptable. The Department must take responsibility and address the matter instead of shifting the blame to a third party during the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs.
Hon. Mogale also addressed the arrogant behaviour of the Minister of Home Affairs in response to a letter sent to him, rejecting the response with the contempt it deserves.

President Julius Malema saw it coming long time ago. @elonmusk the message is clear we are ready for sanctions and being taken out of this world for defending black people.
