The unemployed people will help fix roads by eliminating potholes and cutting grass and trees for two years.
The job applications opened early this month and are expected to close Monday at midnight.
The opportunities are open to unemployed youth, women, people with disabilities, and military veterans are encouraged to apply.
The department urges applicants to include a comprehensive curriculum vitae and a Certified Copy of an identity document (ID) when applying.
It said people who previously applied to the Nasi Ispani recruitment programme would be considered for these posts.
The application requirements are as follows:
- South African residents with no criminal record.
- Grade 10 education.
- Submit stamped proof of address: Interest in Road Maintenance.
The Nasi Ispani is part of the Gauteng Provincial Government’s (GPG) project to fight unemployment in the province. Lesufi launched it to get more young people into the labour market and improve the economy of Gauteng.
On Thursday, Lesufi handed over 50,000 employment offers to job applicants who filled up Orlando Stadium, Johannesburg.
In his address, he promised to deliver 6,000 job opportunities every month until July 2024 to fight corruption, lawlessness, poverty, and unemployment.
