Top Stories You Can’t Miss
Right now the Betway Premiership is heating up. Kaizer Chiefs just nailed a 2‑0 win over Stellenbosch, playing most of the match with ten men. It’s the fifth straight victory for the Chiefs and a solid clue about who might be fighting for the title this season.
On the political front, the French crisis has some South African analysts talking about how Europe’s budget fights could affect trade deals. While the headlines are about France, the ripple effects touch our own export markets, especially in the mining and agricultural sectors.
Internships and Career Tips
If you’re a student or fresh graduate, the internship market in South Africa is buzzing. Companies in tech, finance, and tourism are posting new slots every week. Head over to our Internships section for a curated list that’s updated daily. Pro tip: tailor your CV to each posting and include a short cover note that mentions a recent news piece – it shows you’re in the loop.
Don’t forget to check out the regional opportunities in neighboring African countries. The same skills that land you a spot in Johannesburg often translate well in Nairobi or Lagos, thanks to the growing pan‑African business networks.
For a quick win, set up alerts on our site. When a new internship goes live, you’ll get an email within minutes. That’s the fastest way to beat the competition and snag that interview slot.
Beyond internships, we also share career‑building webinars. Last week we hosted a live Q&A with a senior recruiter from a major South African bank. If you missed it, the recording is still on our page – watch it during your lunch break.
Overall, staying informed is easier than ever. Bookmark this tag page, refresh daily, and you’ll always know the latest match scores, political moves, and internship openings without scrolling through dozens of sites.

                                                                NSFAS staff in Cape Town began a three-day picket on July 30, accusing management of mismanagement, corruption and stalled wage talks. Nehawu warns the action could escalate to a full strike if no deal is reached. Workers say delays in payments are hurting low‑income students who rely on NSFAS. The scheme has been under administration since last year after a series of operational failures.
