Anger after pastor ‘promises’ KZN job seekers work | IOL News

Hundreds of unemployed people anticipated manna from heaven recently when a travelling evangelist promised to link them to 4000 jobs that would arise from imminent overseas business ventures in KZN. Word that an abundance of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled jobs would become available at factories producing medical products in Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay by a Brazilian consortium spread throughout the province.

Two weeks later, more than 2000 job seekers, of all races and from corners of KZN, responded to another of his invitations. Cele said the people became very agitated when they were kept waiting well after midday and accused the school of misleading them.Cele said she and some of the school’s governing body members got the people to place their CVs in a box, which would be handed to the pastor.

“I granted permission because I thought it would be beneficial to the community which includes many unemployed people from our local informal settlement.The principal said they had since lost respect for the pastor and decided they would only hand the CVs to the respective companies, once that has been established. “The CVs are confidential and we will not disclose people’s personal information irresponsibly,” said the principal.

“He said that he was involved in an accident in Richards Bay and his phone was damaged. Therefore, he could not meet people in Chatsworth.” “We did emphasise to everyone that we were not connected to Pastor Tony and the opportunities that he said he could provide, but merely gave him permission to use our school to meet with people from the community,” said the principal.
