Cape Town, or the Mother City, is South Africa’s oldest city, its second-most populous and the legislative capital. It is made up of a diverse population, a rich history, world-famous tourist attractions and an exciting calendar of international and local events.
More than 231 councillors and 26 225 staff serve 4 million residents across a sprawling and cosmopolitan metro of 2 500 square kilometres.
The City provides all the services normally associated with a full-service municipality, such as water, electricity, waste removal, sanitation, new infrastructure, roads, public spaces, facilities, housing developments, the upgrade of informal settlements and existing infrastructure, clinics and more.
To meet the current and future needs of its residents, the City of Cape Town has formulated strategies and policies to guide development and growth. Central to these is the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), which is a five-year plan that informs the City’s policy and budget decisions.
The City’s strong sense of community makes it one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. We offer rewarding career opportunities, great benefits and competitive salaries. New opportunities are posted at www.capetown.gov.za/careers.
Located 60km from Cape Town in South Africa, Drakenstein Municipality is a fast-growing, progressive region and investment destination in the Cape Winelands.
It includes the towns of Paarl, Wellington, Mbekweni, Gouda, Saron, Hermon and Simondium, and it features excellent infrastructure, service delivery, transport networks and road access. Priding itself on good governance and sound financial principles, the Municipality has been rated the most financially healthy city in South Africa by National Treasury.
Drakenstein is also a sport mecca, a preferred tourism destination, home to some of South Africa’s top schools and estates, and in line to become Africa’s first Fairtrade City. Centuries-old wine farms, historical architecture and exquisite natural splendour guarantee a good quality of life here.
