At a glance

What the programme involves

Training combines theory, practical exposure and mentorship by competent miners, including preparation for DMRE Blasting Certificate examinations. Learners complete assessments and logbooks and follow safety, health, environmental, quality and company standards.

Completion may support consideration for future Miner vacancies, depending on operational needs. Permanent employment is not guaranteed.

Education requirements

A Grade 12 / Matric certificate with a bachelor’s pass is required.

The advert’s subject wording is: “60% Maths Literacy – 50% pure Maths will be advantageous”.

The wording does not clearly explain separate subject-entry routes. If you are unsure how your results meet it, seek clarification from the recruitment team rather than assuming that one subject automatically substitutes for the other.

Other eligibility requirements

• South African citizenship and a valid ID.
• Medical fitness for the role and working environment.
• Good communication skills.
• No criminal record.

The advert also lists host-community residence. Beneficiary applicants should confirm how this condition applies to their circumstances.

Required application documents

• Your CV, including contact details and an email address.
• Your Grade 12 certificate.
• A copy of your ID.
• Proof of address; host-community residents need the relevant tribal-office or municipal stamp.
• For beneficiaries: confirmation of dependence from a permanent employee.

Start preparing documents early. Check that stamps, names and addresses are readable, and include every relevant page. Ask the appropriate office or employee for accurate supporting information; do not alter documents yourself.

Keep a copy of the files you submit. Use clear filenames so you can identify your CV, qualification and supporting evidence when uploading.

Application preparation checklist

• Compare your certificate with the education section above.
• Check your eligibility before relying on the location alone.
• Make sure your documents agree with the information entered online.
• Describe any practical experience, school projects or training honestly.
• Use an email address and cellphone number you can access throughout recruitment.
• Leave enough time to resolve missing documents or upload problems.
