Media statement 4 March 2024
Cllr Nasiphi Moya
Deputy Mayor and MMC: Community and Social Development Services
The City of Tshwane is delighted to hire 4 770 Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) beneficiaries from all regions of Tshwane following a recent lottery draw.
The EPWP is a social development initiative that is aligned with the national government’s short- to medium-term job creation and skills development imperatives. Selection of participants in Tshwane takes place through a lottery process, which ensures transparency, rotation and prevention of nepotism.
Participants will be placed within various projects in the City in order to augment our service delivery commitments while providing financial relief for community members on a fixed-term contract basis.
Historically, the City has struggled to reach prospective participants on their mobile phones for the purposes of signing their contracts.
I therefore encourage applicants to remain alert and to answer their mobile phones, as the City will be reaching out to the successful applicants.
Contracting the successful applicants will run from 5 to 11 March 2024 at the Sammy Marks Council Chamber, Pretoria CBD.
For future applications, applicants are advised to use the EPWP USSD portal by dialling *120*5757#.
The City of Tshwane remains committed to contributing to the creation of employment opportunities under the EPWP through a fair, transparent and audited lottery process.
