About Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality Bursary
The Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality Bursary funds local students who want to become engineers. Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality in Mpumalanga runs it as a Mayoral Bursary Scheme. Its official form gives a closing date of 30 November 2026.
This scheme is small and practical. The municipality needs people who can build and maintain roads, power and water systems, so it funds the three engineering fields closest to that work.
Funding Details
The form does not list the benefits. Published copies of the advert mention tuition, textbooks, stationery and study materials, accommodation, laptop costs, meals and pocket money. They also say that the final value depends on the agreement, the budget and your institution. Ask the municipality to confirm your package.
The form and those copies do not mention a work-back. Because this is a public fund, ask directly whether the contract requires you to work for the municipality after you qualify.
The form also asks about other bursaries, including any government funding that you hold or have held. So declare these honestly.
Where You Can Study
The form is for full-time study at any university in South Africa. Published copies of the advert refer to public universities in particular. Therefore, confirm your choice with the municipality if you plan to attend a private institution or a TVET college.

Fields of Study & Who Can Apply
The form names three fields: civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. You choose one of them, and you state whether you plan to study a degree or a diploma. If you want to study anything else, this scheme will not suit you.
Published copies of the advert say that you should be a South African citizen who lives in the municipality. You may be in matric, you may have completed matric, or you may already be at university. The form has a section for current students, which asks for your field of study, year and student number.
The form also looks at your wider life. It asks about family income, hobbies, sport and positions of leadership. So use those sections well, because they help you to stand out from other applicants with similar marks.
Your references also matter. Choose two respected people, such as your school principal or a minister of religion, and tell them to expect a call.
Application Procedure
Download the official application form, or collect one from a municipal office. Fill it in using clear block letters.
