Working in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest province by area and one of the most sparsely populated. Kimberley is the provincial capital and government seat. The province has significant iron ore, manganese, and diamond mining industries centred around Kathu and the John Taolo Gaetsewe District. Government posts are advertised regularly and receive fewer applications than equivalent posts in Gauteng - a structural advantage for applicants.
