AFROVATION GROUP STILL COMMITTED TO REDUCING YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT IN SPITE OF
GLOBAL PANDEMIC: COVID-19

According to statistics from Trading Economics the youth unemployment rate in
South Africa – before the COVID-19 outbreak – decreased to 58.10 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2019 from 58.20 percent in the third quarter of 2019. This
small margin is definitely not something to be celebrated; especially
considering the after-effects of this pandemic on the global economy in the
first half of this year.

One of the challenges faced by this country’s youth has been to secure
employment after graduating as companies are always looking for candidates with
experience. But the big question is ‘where is the youth supposed to obtain this
experience from?’ immediately after graduating. In addition, skills shortage
remains one of the challenges of the 21st century in developing countries like
South Africa.

It is for this reason that an initiative such as the internship programme has
been adopted by South African public and private organisations such as the
Afrovation Group to enhance skills development, knowledge and experience.
Afrovation has been playing its part in the country’s internship programme since
2017, when it took a specific group of eight (8) graduates – aged between 18-35
years – under its wing to be groomed by its experienced, senior employees within
the company. The intended end result after the ten (10) month programme was not
only to train, coach and mentor these graduates, but to also absorb some of the
graduates into permanent employment.

Maxwell Ramutla, Group CEO of Afrovation says: “As we speak, 50% of these
graduates have been employed on a full-time basis and they are still with the
company assigned to senior employees to ensure their continued growth in their
respective fields of study. As Afrovation, we did not only provide these
unemployed graduates with workplace experience that builds on their
qualifications because it is stipulated by the Media Information and
Communication Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority (MICT Seta) –
but we also did this because we felt that it was the right thing to do. This one
of our core driving principles, that business success should always be aligned
to community growth and development.”

Despite the prevailing global economic climate, Afrovation is one of the African
companies that is still willing to partner with the local MICT Seta in its quest
to use the concept of Internships to fast track high level skills transfer, to
offer the much-needed work experience to unemployed graduates and empower them
with practical knowledge that commensurate with their qualification.

Kedidimetse ‘Didi’ Sebopela, a 27-year old from Mapobane, Pretoria, is now an
Account Manager at the Afrovation Group after starting off as an intern in 2017.
She says: “My four-year experience at Afrovation has been a roller coaster ride,
I’ve had to learn to swim in very deep waters and have over the years been
forced out of my comfort zone. This has helped me to grow as a person and in my
career path.

“I am now very confident with myself and my work, I do everything to the best of
my abilities but at the same time have allowed myself to be guided by the
amazing team that I work with. In all honesty, to be employed during these tough
economic times that face companies globally is a blessing. Afrovation has not
just provided me with an employment opportunity but also a chance to be part of
a diverse family with a great culture.”

Besides the youth that has been employed through the internship programme, the
company has in its employ 16 young people of which 50% are female out of a total
of 35 employees. Afrovation is experienced in providing technology solutions,
through cloud email services, telecommunications infrastructure, data enrichment
and verification. These young, budding employees have had the opportunity to be
exposed to the different aspects of the business.

Ramutla explains: “As Afrovation, we do not operate in a vacuum, our company is
also impacted by the negative outlook on unemployment that has been exacerbated
by the COVID-19 pandemic threatening millions of jobs in South Africa and
causing what seems to be insurmountable economic depression. Our company has in
the last few months – during the COVID-19 Lockdown – been occupied by the need
to save the jobs that it has created in the last few years. This is also done to
protect the strides that we have made in defining a lasting value proposition
and ensuring that we continue to deliver the services promised to our entire
client base.”



“We have taken advantage of the R500-billion social and economic stimulus
package announced by President Ramaphosa aimed at keeping the economy going and
saving jobs during this difficult period. We have taken the option of tapping
into the UIF, which has been made available for companies like ours to be able
to pay employees and minimise retrenchments. Together, we will get through this
difficult time in the global human story.”

This year has seen a number of employees in SA being more concerned and grateful
to have a job than worrying about the reduction of salaries. When asked, this is
what other young people in the company had to say about being permanently
employed at the Group:

Banele Mabuza, affectionately known as “Mr Mabuza Sir, is the Public
Participation Specialist. The 29-year old, Soweto-born and bred Mabuza says:
“Since my time as an intern, I’ve had the privilege of working with mentors that
have taught me the value of a great work ethic which has helped me to become as
independent as I am today. I am now able to work and deliver value without
supervision and I am grateful that Afrovation has entrusted me with the
responsibility to use innovative measures to excel and ensure business
continuity.

“The internship programme combined with the opportunity to strive for excellence
while working independently has done wonders for my confidence. It motivates me
to strive to add value to the company and to want to make a difference even
during the COVID-19 period. I am grateful to be employed in these tough times
and would like to thank Afrovation for being there from the beginning of my
career to now.”

Afrovation Group’s core business is in Information and Communications Technology
(ICT), but it also has subsidiaries that include Afrovation Property, Transport,
Transmission, Veri5 (Verification), Investments, Incubation and the Afrovation
Foundation. The company has made a concerted effort to ensure that these
graduates – who are now permanent employees – gain experience in various parts
of the Group. This has helped them to broaden their knowledge about the entire
business and build their capacity.

Sabelo Lusiba, a 31-year old from a small town called Molteno in the Eastern
Cape – who now holds a crucial position as a specialist in IT Technical Support
for Afrovation Technology concurs with his two colleagues. He believes that this
opportunity has done wonders for his career growth as he has been tasked with
the responsibility to diagnose, repair and maintain hardware as well as software
components to ensure the smooth running of computer systems.

Most importantly though, Lusiba plays a crucial role of providing support to
both Afrovation’s internal users and external points (clients) and he is now the
primary point of contact for error reporting and fixing. Echoing his
colleagues’sentiments, Lusiba says: “I am grateful to still be employed in these
trying times, to be part of a company that is able to reduce negative
technological situations by finding innovative ways to ensure that clients are
always happy. Our customer satisfaction rate keeps rising proving that my role
in IT Support contributes positively in the customer’s overall impression of the
company and our technological capabilities.”

Mava Mkuzo – a Customer Support Lead at Afrovation responsible for liaising with
service providers, concluded by saying that he appreciated the fact that he was
still employed and that he had some encouraging words to his management: “Tough
times will not last; but the strength and willingness of the entire team to keep
pushing forward will help propel Afrovation – an African ICT Innovation giant in
my opinion – to greater heights.”
