Luxury clothing brand MaXhosa sparked mixed reactions on social media this week after announcing a two-month residency programme that was deemed exploitative by several Twitter users.
:"People in the replies are more concerned with comfort than the skills the candidate will learn. Such programmes are designed to not only empower one with skills but to test their commitment."In an interview with News24, Ngxokolo said the programme is an opportunity aimed at helping those who need experience in formal employment.
"We're not starting from ground zero, where we don't have an HR person … we are just avoiding the burden of having people who are supposed to operate like professionals operating in an intern-type of delivery," he said.Ngxokolo said the programme would pay successful applicants out of the company's coffers, without the help of government organisations.
