South Africa has been home to many call center operations for the past few years and has earned global recognition as a favorite and trustworthy offshore outsourcing destination. It acts as a destination for global business services - or offshoring business processes. A large talent pool, low costs, sufficient expertise, and easy-to-understand neutral English accents are some of the key factors that are prompting companies to choose South Africa as their preferred outsourcing destinations. With the focus on analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven solutions, South Africa has a large number of actuarial resources as compared to India and can offer help in numerous languages, such as French and Spanish. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics as a corresponding strategy for human resources management can also support the officeholders of the South Africa BPO industry in competing with their rivals in Europe and the Middle East & Africa.


This is estimated to increase the market growth in the coming future. Moreover, Business Process Enabling South Africa, a South Africa-based BPO industry body, has performed an important role in assisting the industry growth by supporting skill development, sharing best practices, and offering its members with access to other business networks & associations that propel and influence the industry’s transition into digital economy. Furthermore, the government of South Africa has launched numerous taxation incentives and schemes for skills-related support. One of the major initiatives is the Monyetla Work Readiness Programme.

The major focus of this program is to grow the pool of employable entry-level personnel. Through the Monyetla Work Readiness Programme, BPO employers run a consortia approach to hire and train entry-level staff. Such initiatives are generating youth service opportunities and thereby contribute to the region’s export profits from offshoring services. The BPO industry in South Africa is expanding constantly, providing new job opportunities and playing a decisive role in the region’s economic development. Outsourcing service providers believe that South Africa has better opportunities as compared to other countries in Africa, to offer business outsourcing services. Cape Town has especially developed as a BPO destination of choice.
