This is steady, physical warehouse work at a building-supplies depot in Cape Town CBD, and nobody minds if it's your first job. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
