a) Umalusi has a total staff establishment of one hundred and thirty-eight (138) approved positions on the structure.
b) Of the one hundred, and thirty-eight (138) approved positions, one hundred and thirty (130) positions are filled.
c) The organisation currently has eight (8) vacancies, and seven (7) vacancies are in the process of being filled. One (1) vacancy will be filled after completing the infrastructure renovations later during the current financial year.
d) Due to the ever-increasing pressures in delivering a national mandate, there is a need to expand the Umalusi staff establishment. The organisation intends to submit a request to the Council during the current financial year to create additional posts, but the approval and filling of these posts will be considered within the limited budget allocation.
