EWN reports that Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has indicated that government plans to reimagine its expanded public works programme (EPWP) to ensure workers can build lasting careers.
Macpherson joined Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis in Tafelsig, Mitchells Plain on Monday to host an EPWP listening tour. According to Hill-Lewis, more than 1,000 EPWP workers became permanent City of Cape Town employees in the last financial year. Macpherson said he would like to emulate Cape Town's achievements nationally. "We want to reform the EPWP to become something that gives you an opportunity to a life-long job or career," he indicated during the engagement with members of the Tafelsig community.
