Working in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape is predominantly a public sector employment province. Government departments - particularly Health, Education, and Social Development - are the dominant employers. Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) has an automotive manufacturing corridor anchored by Volkswagen and General Motors (now Isuzu). The province has historically high unemployment, which means government posts attract very large numbers of applicants.
