The Mangaung Metro Municipality recently recruited about 800 unemployed residents.
Some of the unemployed graduates, who have recently been recruited by the Mangaung Metro Municipality in the Free State, to assist in ensuring that the city is clean, say they are relieved to be employed, even though they will not be doing something that they studied for.
Neo Titisi is a Public Relations Assistant graduate, who will now be doing manual work of cleaning parks. The aspiring actor, who has been featured on some of the country’s leading TV series, is grateful that he will finally have a stable income, after surviving on piece jobs. “Most of the programmes vary from six to 12 months but most of them lately, we’ve actually weighed them to hit 12 months to make sure that our people do not only come and they actually turn to benefit and have substances of what they do and with what they’re working for. This programme in itself, becomes a leverage of the shortage of manpower that the city has in making sure that it closes the gap to make sure that we attend to all the needs of our people on the ground in terms of cleanliness.
