Want a real‑world job that builds your resume and pays a monthly stipend? The Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) is looking for a fresh graduate to join its 2026‑2027 Internship Programme as a Business Analyst Intern.
The internship is a two‑year program that brings you from campus straight into a workplace that makes a difference for people who need affordable homes. You will be based in Parktown, Johannesburg, and will learn how to help the government keep social housing safe, fair and reliable for low‑ to medium‑income families. The role is part of the Compliance, Accreditation and Regulations team, where you’ll track how housing providers follow the law and suggest improvements.
When and Where?
- Deadline – 13 February 2026
- Location – 32 Princess of Wales Terrace, Parktown, Johannesburg, South Africa
- Stipend – R11,175 per month
The program is open only to South African graduates who are under 35, currently without a job, and who have no previous work experience. A bachelor’s degree or national diploma in accounting, auditing, financial management or a related field is required. A Grade 12 certificate is also a must.
