Jobs in Gauteng

Gauteng is the smallest yet most densely populated province in South Africa. Gauteng means "Place of Gold" in Sesotho, referring to the discovery of gold in the capital, Johannesburg, in 1886. Ever since, Johannesburg has thrived on a strong gold mining industry, contributing to the city's reputation as not only South Africa's, but also Africa's economic capital. Although Johannesburg is the province's, as well as the country's "business" capital, Pretoria is in fact the country's capital city as well as its administrative capital.


Gauteng is home to over 12.2 million people, almost a quarter of the country's population and is also the fastest growing province. The province is responsible for a third of South Africa's GDP and is the hub for the country's telecommunications, financial, transport, manufacturing, mining and other industries.

Gauteng is also home to some of the country's finest tertiary institutions and has a multitude of attractions for its visitors.
