HeraldLive reports that Nelson Mandela Bay Metro (NMBM) has clinched two new call centre investments, which are set to bring more than R100m to the municipality and create a combined 857 jobs.  

The two companies, namely Sensational Debt Relief and WNS Global Services, have already started operations from their premises in Central and Coega, respectively.  Municipal economic development head Anele Qaba said the metro was also in discussion with two more call centre companies with the potential to bring a further 800 jobs to the city.  With the high unemployment rate in NMBM, the business process outsourcing sector is a major target for job creation.
