The City of Johannesburg has opened exciting opportunities for unemployed residents through its Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). The Cleaner Vacancies – available across all regions of Joburg – are short-term contract positions aimed at offering much-needed job experience, income, and an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to community development.
This initiative is part of the municipality’s commitment to fighting unemployment while delivering essential services to residents. If you are physically fit, unemployed, and committed to cleanliness and public health, then this opportunity is tailored for you.
What Is EPWP and Why It Matters
The Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is a nationwide initiative driven by the South African government to provide temporary work opportunities to unemployed citizens. The programme not only creates jobs but also provides skills development and workplace exposure, helping participants transition to more permanent employment.
Cleaner roles are among the most accessible and impactful positions under EPWP. Workers play a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness of public spaces such as parks, streets, municipal buildings, and community centres.
