After-Hours Office Cleaner – Fixed-Term

You'll keep a government office building in Umhlanga clean, stocked and fresh before the people arrive. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Umhlanga; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
