The City of Cape Town has defended itself against accusations by developers that 18.1% of its posts in water and sanitation services, along with 12% of posts in its transport division, are currently vacant.
He said the vacancy rate went against the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs’ recently published municipal staff regulations, in which section 11 clearly states: “Every municipality must develop the strategy to fill funded vacancies, and reduce turnaround times for filling of approved vacant funded posts.”
On Van Zyl’s allegations about the City’s priorities, Tyhalibongo said: “This is not true. The City’s commitment to deliver on its service mandate is clear. There are 723 employees with engineering-related qualifications employed within the City. “We maintain databases of alternate candidates in order to shorten the process when similar vacancies arise. We develop staff internally for posts and place them when qualified in order to create a pipeline and accelerate the recruitment process,” said Tyhalibongo.
