About the Internship
The Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM) has opened applications for its Internship Programme 2025 under the Rural Roads Asset Management Systems (RRAMS) initiative.

The internship offers five (05) placements for a duration of two years, with each intern receiving a monthly stipend of R8,000.00. Successful candidates will be based at the municipality’s Head Office in Komani (Queenstown).
