In light of the president’s announcement that there will be a two-week extension to South Africa’s ongoing lockdown, network provider Cell C has outlined its plans to help people earn money via the gig economy.
“The Covid-19 pandemic is having a devastating impact on people’s livelihoods in the informal sector. Cell C wanted to make a direct difference and has provided funding that will pay users to complete training tasks from the safety of their homes and via all mobile devices during the lockdown.”The project is scheduled to run over three weeks and the average payout per jobber is estimated to be R310 per week.
“As much as it is required to protect our public health institutions, it also requires an urgent and focused response to provide alternative sources of income for South Africans who are formally unemployed.” “The three-week curriculum consists of 48 micro-lessons on Covid-19 topics, Cell C product-related topics, general training on being successful as a regular jobber and better data collection while in the field.
