Expert Guidance (Mbalizuke Nkosi)
“With municipal applications, the documentation is everything,” advises Mbalizuke Nkosi. “Since you have to deliver this in person, use this as a chance to be professional. Ensure your documents are certified within the last three months, and double-check that your academic transcript—which is mandatory for the ICT post—is clearly included. Do not leave your application to the last day!”
