Senqu Municipality Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their 36‑Month Internship Programme Vacancies . The closing date for applications is the 17 October 2025.
What is the 36‑Month Internship?
Senqu Municipality is looking for fresh graduates who want hands‑on work experience in a real city government. The internship lasts three years and lets you work with experienced professionals on everyday projects that keep our town running. You’ll learn the inner workings of services, paperwork, and community planning—ideally before you start a full‑time job.
Why Join?
- Real‑world learning: You’ll tackle real tasks, not just classroom exercises.
- Pay while you learn: You get a monthly stipend of R6 250.
- Build connections: Meet people in government, learn networks, and maybe find a mentor who stays with you after the internship.
Stipend & Benefits
| What you get | Details |
|---|---|
| Monthly pay | R6 250 per month for 36 months |
| Other benefits | Opportunity to stay on after the internship, use of municipal facilities, and potential travel to nearby towns in Sterkspruit and Barkly East. |
Minimum Eligibility
- Degree: A 3‑year National Diploma in Human Resources Management (minimum).
(If you have another relevant diploma, double‑check with the HR Manager.)
