NEHAWU demands immediate insourcing of services outsourced to Bosasa
19 February 2019
The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] notes the announcement by African Global Operations Group of Companies (Bosasa Youth and Child Care Centres as part of group of companies) to apply for voluntary liquidation. This voluntary liquidation by companies proves that Public Private Partnership are never a suitable concept for service delivery.
The announcement comes at a time when the company has been faced with shocking accusations of fraud, corruption and money laundering through the testimony of former officials of Bosasa in the Zondo Commission of Enquiry into State Capture. This has created a lot of uncertainty within our members who are currently giving services to clients in Youth and Child Care centres across the country.
The application by African Global Operations means that job security of our 600 members in Bosasa is might be compromised as Board of Directors are no more in charge but rather the company will be run by the administrator to be appointed by the Masters of High Court on Wednesday 20th February 2019.
As NEHAWU, we reiterate our call for the Minister of Social Development to immediately and without fail, insource all services currently outsourced to Bosasa Youth Development Centres so as to ensure smooth running of the 10 Youth and Child Care Centres across 6 provinces in the country.
