Eat, sleep, code, and repeat!
Is this you? Is coding your passion?
Webafrica is a top ISP in the country and we are looking for a developer who is edgy, keen on building an online environment that works like a well-oiled machine and is meticulous in doing so.
We are looking for the CSS to our HTML – a perfect fit!
In addition, this person can turn code into functional art, of sorts, and will be given source code good enough that it just could change the view of the world!
Interested?
Great! Then stop hiding in room 404 where we can’t find you, step forward and show us the strength of your algorithms.

About The Employer:
We are 23 years old. We’re ancient in internet years so we’ve been around the block and we’re here to stay.
We’re not a fancy ‘start-up’ and we can’t remember if we were born in a garage. We have done all sorts of internet things along the way but now we just focus on what we’re best at, getting South Africans online with increasingly fast internet and giving them a great experience once they get there.
Garage or not, we do know we were born in Cape Town. About 150 Webafricans still thrive in a fancy office in Upper Woodstock (the posh part) but we opened an office in Joburg last year, Grayston Drive, we’ll have you know (even posher), just to reassure our Gauteng doubters that we’re not a 419 scam.
Employer & Job Benefits:
- Medical Aid
- Retirement Annuity
- Discretionary Bonus
