Question NW3373 to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
08 January 2024 - NW3373
Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
Whether his department has its own target for job creation and growth within the communications sector; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The DCDT does not have a target for job creation. However, it subscribes to Government’s overarching programme on job creation and reducing unemployment. In this regard, the ICT sector and digital economy are viewed as key levers. Some of the areas identified in creating jobs include: broadband connectivity; broadcasting digital migration; digital skills; electronic equipment installation and refurbishment such as set-top box installation, fibre rollout, Wi-Fi deployment, cell phone repairs and owner driver delivery etc.
Thank You.
