Afrizan BPO Opens Cape Town Contact Centre After Creating 1,100 Jobs Since 2023
1 articles · Updated · ITWeb · Jun 22
Summary
Cape Town gained a new Afrizan People Intelligence BPO contact centre, the company’s latest expansion aimed at creating jobs for hundreds of young South Africans.
1,100 jobs have already been created in Afrizan’s contact-centre operations since 2023, with the broader group saying it has directly impacted 34,015 lives and reached more than 6,000 unemployed youth through training programmes.
94% customer satisfaction, a 0.26% abandonment rate and 99.27% service levels underpin the expansion, with all three metrics beating global or industry benchmarks.
Youth XLS recruits unemployed youth into 12-month cadet placements, Afrizan Academy provides accredited training, and graduates are either absorbed into full-time BPO roles or referred to LVL X Youth for other opportunities.
98% women-owned and a level-one B-BBEE contributor, Afrizan says the model is designed to pair growth in business-process outsourcing with longer-term employment pathways in South Africa.
