The Gauteng job market

Gauteng holds more than a quarter of South Africa’s population in a single province, and even more of its job demand. From household help in the leafy northern suburbs to building work on the East Rand, from after-hours plumbers in Pretoria to event staff for Sandton functions — the variety and volume make Gauteng the busiest market on VukaWork.

Rates sit at the higher end of South African ranges across most categories, particularly in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg and the eastern parts of Pretoria.
