About Afrisam Bursary South Africa
The AfriSam Bursary supports Mechanical or Electrical Engineering students, funded by AfriSam, a major South African producer of cement, aggregates, and readymix concrete with operations in South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini.
Rather than a single large annual national programme, AfriSam has advertised its bursary as a small, site-linked opportunity - for example, a single position tied to its Zeekoewater Quarry operation in Mpumalanga. This means the number of bursaries on offer, and the specific engineering discipline funded, can vary between openings.
Given the very limited number of positions typically available (often just one), this bursary is highly competitive. Applicants should watch AfriSam's careers channels for when a new opportunity is advertised, since openings are not guaranteed to run on a fixed annual cycle.
Funding Details
Detailed benefit figures have not been published for the current opportunity beyond the general offer of bursary funding. Applicants should confirm the exact package (tuition, allowances, vacation work, and so on) directly with AfriSam once shortlisted, since this has not been comprehensively detailed in the public advert.
Where You Can Study
AfriSam does not appear to publish a narrow list of approved universities; eligibility depends mainly on being registered for, or accepted into, an eligible Mechanical or Electrical Engineering qualification at a recognised South African higher education institution.

AfriSam (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd, a major producer of cement, aggregates, and readymix concrete in South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini.
What fields does it cover?
AfriSam's advertised openings have been limited to Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
How many bursaries are available?
Historically very few - sometimes just one, tied to a specific site such as a quarry. This makes the bursary highly competitive.
Does AfriSam run this bursary every year on a fixed date?
Not necessarily. Because openings have been linked to specific operations and vacancies rather than a single national annual round, timing and availability can vary - check AfriSam's careers channels for current opportunities.
How do I apply?
Recent openings have asked applicants to email a CV, ID, academic results, and a short motivational note to the contact address given in the specific advert. Check AfriSam's current careers page for the correct address, since this can change between openings.
