Member of the Mayoral Committee for Economic Development and Spatial Planning, Sarah Mabotsa, said the programme enabled the City to put its 2025 Youth Month theme, “Embracing the power of youth to drive socio-economic transformation,’ into practice.

“We are pleased to confirm the placement of the 52 new young trainee building inspectors to the Department of Economic Development and Spatial Planning's Building Control division as part of a work-based learning programme” she said.

She said placements allow young graduates, who hold qualifications in the Built Environment, to obtain valuable hands-on work experience in the building sector. “These young professionals will assist our teams to conduct building inspections to make sure that structures comply with building codes and regulations. This work is critical to protecting the public and making sure buildings are safe for occupation,” she said.
