Close to 100 jobs at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research are on the line as the continent’s leading research centre undergoes restructuring. Recently departed employees say this will severely affect its capacity to do crucial research, especially related to climate change.
In the restructuring, departments that are being dissolved and merged include natural resources and the environment; defence, peace, safety and security; research development and innovation. “I’m extremely sad. I’m heartbroken to see the erosion of climate and environmental research at the CSIR,” said a former employee, who preferred to stay anonymous for fear of potential reputational damage.
Another former employee, who took the voluntary retrenchment package and also spoke on condition of anonymity, said the loss of skills would impede the research facility’s mandate.
