Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Khayelitsha really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate and ID, logistics qualifications plus a CV showing the size of fleet you worked with.
