The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Gauteng is calling for the establishment of an independent body to monitor the Gauteng jobs initiative.
The provincial government through its ‘Nasi Ispani’ programme is on a drive to fill up government department vacancies. The programme is expected to fill up 8000 funded vacancies.

Mhanga says, “The Premier when he came in he looked at our work and said there are funded jobs, can we then make sure that they get filled.
