Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

Put your trade to work on the school construction project in Mamelodi, with steady work for the length of the project. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Mamelodi, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.
