*Jobs In South Africa: IT People Shortage Causes Banks To 'Fight' For Skills* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?sb A country-wide shortage of skilled IT people in South Africa is causing banks in the country to fight over the few candidates available for employment. A report by Sunday Times and MyBroadband says banks are having to pay up to 30% more to hire and retain IT professionals especially for skills needed in their digital migration projects. South African has long been a destination for qualified IT professionals after gaining some experience in Zimbabwe. South Africa, however, is itself losing IT skills to other countries. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
