The Citizen reports that outsourcing has fallen at the University of South Africa (Unisa) after 10 months of deliberations.
A Multi-stakeholder Task Team (MSTT) has announced that the university would appoint 910 new members of staff in previously outsourced areas, including cleaning, security, gardening and waste-removal. The MSTT was established by a resolution of the Unisa Council at a special meeting in December, with a mandate to insource identified services in response to the nationwide call, largely by students, for academic institutions to end outsourcing. Sakhi Simelane, chair of the Unisa Council, said the agreement bore testimony to the "commitment, unwavering determination and resolution of all parties involved" to find amicable solutions to difficult problems.
