Updated 10 November 2026

S’thesha Waya-Waya is the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government’s e-recruitment portal, run by the Office of the Premier. It’s a single place to register, search and apply for KZN government jobs, internships, learnerships and EPWP programmes.

The official website

The portal is reached through the KZN government’s website, kznonline.gov.za. Look for the e-Recruitment or S’thesha Waya-Waya link.

Only addresses ending in .gov.za belong to the government. Don’t register on look-alike sites.

Who can register

Job seekers in KwaZulu-Natal, including matriculants, graduates and unemployed people. Requirements depend on the opportunity:

  • Internships usually need a National Diploma or Degree
  • Learnerships usually need Grade 12 or NQF Level 4
  • EPWP work is usually for unemployed people

Always check the requirements in each advert.

Documents to prepare

Have these ready as PDF or JPG files:

  • A copy of your South African ID
  • An up-to-date CV. Make one with our free CV builder.
  • Copies of your qualifications (matric certificate and any others)
  • Proof of residence, for EPWP or local programmes
