Fetakgomo Tubatse Municipality is looking for suitable young people to apply for their EPWP Waste Management General Worker posts. The closing date for applications is 30 September 2026.
If you’re 18 or older, ready to earn while you learn a practical skill, and live in the Gauteng area, this could be a game‑changer. The EPWP (Employment Programme for the Working Poor) is a national initiative that gives people a chance to work, earn a decent wage and build a portfolio for future jobs.
What the role actually looks like
- Daily tasks – help collect, transport, and sort municipal waste; maintain equipment; keep sites clean and safe.
- Team play – you’ll work alongside other workers and supervisors, often in small crews.
- Learning curve – you’ll receive on‑the‑job training on waste segregation, recycling processes and safety protocols.
- Why it matters – it’s a great first job, teaches you about environmental stewardship, and can open doors to permanent municipal or private‑sector roles.
