In an effort to combat inefficiency, fraud, and corruption, JOSHCO has undergone a
transformative journey from a paper-based application process to a cutting-edge leasing app.
The previous system, while user-friendly, left a glaring loophole for fraudulent activities, and
contributed to delays in the application process.
Recognizing the need for change, JOSHCO’s new leasing app aims to revolutionize the application process, significantly reducing
turnaround times and eliminating the possibilities of corruption and fraud.
The transition from a paper-based to a digital platform addresses the long-standing issues associated with the traditional method.
The secure data-keeping record that was once a hallmark of the paper process remains intact but with added layers of security and reliability.
The new app streamlines the application process and ensures that sensitive information is
kept secure and managed efficiently.
JOSHCO is committed and dedicated to maintaining and upholding the integrity of the data, leaving no room for vulnerabilities that scammers could exploit.
The system also safeguards applicants’ personal information, per the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013.
Moreover, the digital leap is a strategic move to protect applicants from falling victim to scams orchestrated by individuals posing as JOSHCO agents.
The enhanced security features of the
app make it less susceptible to replication, providing a safeguard against fraudulent activities.
JOSHCO’s commitment to zero tolerance for corruption is reflected in stringent measures
against those found fraudulently representing the organization.
The new leasing app not only accelerates the application process but also serves as a powerful deterrent against scammers, ultimately prioritizing the safety and security of
applicants.
“As we take bold steps into the digital era, we send a clear message that efficiency and security are paramount.
“The transition addresses past shortcomings and reinforces JOSHCO’s commitment to providing a reliable and secure housing application process for all.
“With the embrace of technology, JOSHCO aims to set new standards in the industry, ensuring a seamless, trustworthy, and use-friendly experience for those seeking housing opportunities,” Esethu Njenjani.
According to Njenjani, JOSHCO has no tolerance for fraud and corruption. “We commit to uphold the JOSHCO ethical standards; to prevent fraudulent and corrupt
activities; to act with integrity, honesty, and transparency; to report any suspected fraudulent
or corrupt activities; to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards.
“We also pledge to be responsible in our services; to neither pay nor take bribes; to obey the law
and encourage everyone within JOSHCO to do the same; to treat public resources respectfully; to never abuse any money entrusted to our care or position; to act with integrity in all our functions, in thought and action, and to always act in the best interest of the
organization,” said Njenjani.
