Deputy President Paul Mashatile has reaffirmed the government's commitment to enhancing the impact of public employment programs. He stated that a newly formed inter-ministerial committee would focus on improving training, accountability, and pathways to sustainable economic opportunities for participants.

The committee, established by President Cyril Ramaphosa and chaired by Mashatile, aims to strengthen coordination and oversight of initiatives like the Expanded Public Works Programme. Its inaugural meeting emphasized aligning skills development with market demands to help participants transition into permanent employment or entrepreneurship.

This coordinated effort seeks to address South Africa’s high unemployment rate by ensuring these programs deliver more than short-term relief. The government's objective is to create meaningful pathways out of poverty through impactful skills initiatives and long-term work opportunities.
