City welcomes over 1 300 new employees since July 2024

13 January 2025

This Wednesday, 8 January 2025, a total of 178 new inductees joined the City of Cape Town’s workforce. This intake sees a notable trend, with women predominantly filling worker designations, particularly in the Urban Waste Management sector where 24 of the 38 new employees are women.

‘It was heartening to meet the 178 new City employees, and witness the assistance they received to be able to navigate their new roles. Creating jobs and empowering City staff is an important moment. It was fantastic to see so many women joining us,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys.

As part of City’s comprehensive induction process, clinicians were stationed on-site to provide medical screenings for new employees, as well as guidance on the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and other wellness services available to all City staff members. This initiative highlights our ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of employees.

‘In line with our digital transformation efforts, we are pleased to announce the introduction of virtual registration for all attendees of the Corporate Induction session. This move to a fully paperless process aligns with our goal of enhancing efficiency and reducing our environmental footprint,’ said Alderman Uys.

The City has, from July 2024 to 8 January 2025, inducted a total number of 1 371 new employees.
