Minimum requirements
- You must have passed Grade 12.
- You must currently be unemployed.
- You must be between 18 and 35 years old.
- You must be a South African citizen.
- You must currently live in the Western Cape.
- You must not currently be studying either full-time or part-time.

Western Cape residence requirement
The vacancy specifically states that applicants must be living in the Western Cape area. This should therefore be treated as an eligibility requirement rather than simply a preference.
Your updated CV must clearly show your home or physical address. Applicants living outside the Western Cape should not assume that relocating later will satisfy the advertised requirement.
Study and previous learnership restrictions
Applicants must not currently be studying on either a full-time or part-time basis.
The advert also states that candidates must not be currently or previously enrolled in a learnership programme. If you have completed a previous learnership, you should therefore read this requirement carefully before applying rather than assuming that you remain eligible.
Programme duration and stipend
The vacancy requires applicants to be available for the full 12-month duration, and its programme benefits refer to a stipend over the programme period.
The vacancy metadata separately lists the duration as 9–12 months. Because the eligibility requirements specifically require availability for 12 months, applicants should be prepared to commit to the full year unless MAZIV confirms otherwise during the recruitment process.
The salary field is listed as market related. An exact monthly stipend amount is not provided.
Documents to prepare
MAZIV specifically asks applicants to prepare the following documents:
- A certified copy of your South African ID.
- A certified copy of your Matric / Grade 12 certificate.
- An updated CV.
- Your CV must clearly show your home or physical address.
Make sure that all uploaded copies are clear and readable. MAZIV states that incomplete applications or unclear documents will not be considered.
