South Africa Internship Visa & Embassy

Internships in South Africa are unfortunately unpaid at present but some companies are willing to cover some of your living costs. Cape Intern provides you with links to a databases of companies, allowing you to establish direct contact with them for an internship. We do not liaise between companies and prospective interns/students but rather provide you with the tools - through our website - to do it yourself.  In this way you are not bound by any contracts or fees.
