Performance Breakdown
These are contract-based work opportunities in public employment programmes (PEPs).
This supports self-employment, such as through the Production Input Vouchers provided to smallholder farmers.
This category applied only during the Covid-19 pandemic. It helped retain jobs in institutions forced to close their doors – such as the District Six Museum – amongst many others.

(Data captured up until March 2025)
The Presidential Employment Stimulus consolidates data reported by participating departments. This data is subject to ongoing verification and audit by departments. The numbers reported may change based on final verification and audit outcomes. Where work opportunities straddle financial years, the audit process requires that they are reported in both years. For example, Teachers Assistants who start work in February and continue into the next financial year. To avoid ‘double counting’ of participants, this is corrected under ‘total opportunities’ reported. Note however that under the performance breakdown, the cumulative annual figures are presented.
