Are you a recent accounting graduate looking for hands-on experience in public finance? The Sol Plaatje Municipality Financial Internships 2026 offer a great chance to build skills in municipal budgeting and reporting. This two-year program targets unemployed South African graduates and runs through the Financial Management Grant.
Program Details
The Sol Plaatje Municipality Financial Internships 2026 fall under the Financial Management Grant (FMG) Programme. It lasts two years and includes five spots in the Financial Services Directorate. Interns earn R100,000 per year with no benefits. The reference number is 2026/001, and applications close on 5 May 2026 at 16:00. The location is in Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa.
Who Can Apply

Employers look for self-motivated people who love accounting. Show a strong work ethic and attention to detail. Be ready to learn and follow municipal rules. Take charge of your own growth during the program.
What Interns Will Do
Interns help put MFMA rules into action and support financial tasks. They work on budgeting, reporting, supply chain, and asset management. Expect rotations through areas like Budget Treasury, Supply Chain, and Expenditure/Income. Build a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) and join training sessions.
