Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Mthatha really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: licence card and passenger PrDP, references from previous bus or taxi work plus medical certificate if you have a recent one.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Mthatha.

How to stand out

Talk about safety records in the interview. Bus companies want to hear about zero accidents and on-time runs.
Write "PrDP P valid until" with the date, right at the top of your CV. It is the first thing a bus operator checks.
