News24 reports that City of Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba and a number of his mayoral committee members celebrated Workers Day by welcoming 939 security guards into the council's ranks.
He indicated that over 3,700 security guards had been moved off the books of contractors and into the employment of the City since 2018. "Insourcing represents a departure from the past practices of the City of Johannesburg, which saw over R700m being paid annually to politically connected security companies," Mashaba said on Wednesday. The mayor thanked several parties in partnership with the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the City of Johannesburg, most notably the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). He was joined by EFF councillor Donald Mabunda. On Tuesday, Mashaba promised that by 1 July the City would end cleaning services contracts, currently run by "politically connected tenderpreneurs".
