For many unemployed young people, the difference between wanting a career in law enforcement and actually beginning one can come down to a single decision: applying when an opportunity finally appears.
Stellenbosch Municipality’s Protection Services and Local Economic Development (LED) departments are offering unemployed youth an opportunity to be trained as part of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) for the Peace Officer and Traffic Warden Programme 2026.
And there is an important reason eligible applicants should pay attention.
According to the programme advertisement, candidates who qualify and successfully complete the training will receive a 12-month employment contract.
If you have been watching Traffic Officer, Metro Police, municipal law-enforcement or public-safety opportunities and repeatedly telling yourself that you will apply for the next one, this may be the application that deserves your attention now.

- a copy of your South African ID;
- a copy of your driver’s licence;
- proof of residence;
- your Matric certificate; and
- your CV.
