The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has launched an ambitious employment drive dubbed “Nasi Ispani 2.0” in a bid to address unemployment and maintain infrastructure.

The initiative aims at maintaining the condition of roads and transport infrastructure, thus facilitating smoother, safer, and more efficient movement within the province.

The programme comes with a monthly stipend of R3080,00. It is a 24-month commitment, meaning applicants will have job security for this period. The duration, along with the stipend, makes it an attractive opportunity for those looking to get their foot in the door of the workforce.
Applications for the Nasi Ispani 2.0 initiative opened on Wednesday, 5th July 2026, and will close on Tuesday, 18th July 2026.

Requirements and Opportunities
The job opportunities are open to:

- Applicants must also submit stamped proof of their address.
These criteria make it accessible to a broad spectrum of the South African population, especially those who have historically been underrepresented in the job market.
The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has shown inclusivity in its recruitment process by encouraging applications from unemployed youth, women, people with disabilities, and military veterans. This is a significant step in advancing equal opportunities for these groups.
Importantly, those who had previously applied in the Nasi Ispani recruitment programme will be considered for these posts, offering hope to those who may have been unsuccessful in the previous recruitment round.
Looking Ahead
The Nasi Ispani 2.0 initiative is a promising development in Gauteng’s ongoing mission to grow together, in line with the GGT2030 strategy. By focusing on job creation and infrastructure maintenance, the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport is not only addressing the immediate need for employment but also investing in the province’s long-term development and prosperity.
The province’s residents are strongly urged to take advantage of this initiative. For enquiries related to the application process, applicants can call 011 355 7125 during office hours.
As the Gauteng Provincial Government moves forward with this employment drive, the impact is bound to resonate beyond the province’s boundaries. It’s a beacon of hope, not just for Gauteng, but for the entire Republic of South Africa, demonstrating that with initiative and vision, significant strides can be made in job creation and infrastructure development. The Nasi Ispani 2.0 programme is, indeed, a key component in growing Gauteng together.
