Hi Kendos,

It seems that your job is very specific and not necessarily something that will be advertised on the normal recruitment channels. One thing I would suggest is to try to find some connections in your field of work or try to use a recruitment agency specialising in your area of expertise. You may need to come to SA as a tourist first to check out of opportunities as well.

Getting a Work Permit for South Africa is not easy so a employer will need to prove that a local could not be hired for the position or that you have critical skills. You will need to do some research into visa options while applying for jobs.

Good luck
