Cape Winelands Visual Media Internship 2026: Apply

The Cape Winelands Visual Media Internship 2026 is recruiting a Visual Media Intern for a one-year contract in Stellenbosch. The role supports the municipality’s visual content and archives, including artwork, website and social-media assets, and gallery maintenance.

The advertised remuneration is an all-inclusive annual salary of R75,600. This is a yearly amount, not a monthly salary. Applications close on 30 October 2026 at 15:00.

Cape Winelands Visual Media Internship 2026 requirements

Applicants must have a National Diploma or BTech in Graphic Design, or a BA in Visual Design, Fine Art or Design. The advert also requires proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign, together with a Code B driver’s licence.

Applicants who have already completed CWDM’s two-year internship programme are excluded. Check that condition before preparing a new application.

The software and licence requirements are part of the advertised criteria, not optional preparation suggestions. Review your qualification title and current licence carefully against the official notice.

What the internship involves

The work spans visual archives, artwork production, digital assets for the website and social media, and gallery maintenance. It combines creative production with the organisation and upkeep of visual material.

The stated benefits are a paid one-year placement and exposure to this work. The advert does not promise a permanent municipal job after the contract. Applicants should assess the role on its published terms rather than assuming that an internship automatically converts into ongoing employment.

Use the prescribed application form

This vacancy requires a physical application. Electronic and fax applications are not accepted. Request the prescribed form from C Swartz on 021 888 5287 or NP Mbikahlobo on 021 888 5120.

Submit the original completed form with originally certified copies of the required qualification and driver’s licence. Place the application in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the post. Consult the complete advert for the full submission instructions before sealing the envelope.

As practical advice, keep your own copy of the completed pack and check that certification and all required pages are present. A portfolio may help you prepare to discuss your design experience later, but it should not replace the prescribed application documents.
