Because I feel Social Workers need permanent position , not this COVID contract where they were not exposed to S.W work as they were Care workers, Community developer as well as due Marshall.
It was clear exploitation.

Social work graduates are being exploited on R6000 internships. Whereas their services are needed in the wider community of South Africa. Enough is enough! Each school one social worker. Private schools are doing it why is our government not doing it to alleviate unemployment rate for our social work graduates.

With the high unemployment rate in South Africa where are we supposed to go after the contract? Is it straight to poverty again? So we need permanent positions because the society needs us. And our lives are at risk working at the post offices as que marshalls everyday during this pandemic and not doing the psychosocial support.

I am pleading with the nation to sympathize with us it's been a long journey we were promise to being exposed on our field only to being exposed to the pandemic day in and day out.
People were qauarintine by that time we were risking our lives being at post office doing the things that we were don't know about.
My Question one more time is what was the aim of this 3 contracts wasn't for reducing the number of unemployed social workers by exposing them to pandemic so they can die then nobody will be at blammed for not hiring?

Thank you.
