If you’ve just finished a National Diploma in Agriculture or Farming and you’re still looking for a job, the Thabo Mofutsanyana District Municipality has a place for you.

**Apply before 29 January 2026, 16:15** – that’s the deadline. The internship will take place in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District, which is in the Free State of South Africa.
What the program is about
The main goal is to help people who have studied agriculture but don’t yet have any work experience. It’s a way for you to learn by doing, while earning a salary and gaining skills that employers love.

- Will supply a SAPS affidavit that says you’re not funded by another source
If you’re a young person, a woman, or someone with a disability, the municipality especially wants to see your application.
