As South Africa continues to reflect beyond Workers’ Day this May, the conversation around work, dignity, and opportunity feels more urgent than ever. Workers’ Day reminds us of the hard-won history of labour rights, but in today’s reality, many are navigating a different landscape. We are seeing a job market where opportunities are increasingly limited, competition is intense, and many people are forced to accept work that demands more and offers less, sometimes even at the expense of their rights and dignity. On Talk@7, we discuss employment opportunities, how to land a job and workplace ethics. To unpack this, we are joined by Adrian Pillay, a specialist recruitment consultant at Pro Talent, specialising in IT and engineering recruitment. He is a regular speaker and career advisor. Chartered Accountant, governance, risk and compliance specialist, and founder of Boss Babes of South Africa, Kovini Moodley.
