Outsourcing has weakened SA, says President Ramaphosa
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that the outsourcing industry has weakened the country and was utilized by the government for state capture.
During his testimony in front of the Zondo Commission, Ramaphosa reiterated his opposition to the sector.
“We do have people in the public service who are well trained, skilled, and well educated. During the period of state capture, they have been side-lined, and some of them even left the state because the tasks they were doing were generally outsourced.“ he said.
The SA president also added that “outsourcing is a clear demonstration of capture. I am now saying we need to insource.”
Ramaphosa suggested that outsourced consultants should only be hired in the country to do “exceptional tasks” that the public servants cannot perform.
