About Afrimat Bursary
Afrimat, a JSE-listed mining and construction materials group, advertises a general bursary programme through its central careers portal, alongside a number of site-specific bursaries tied to individual quarries and mines such as Blue Rock, Coega, Denver and Nkomati. Unlike those community-restricted programmes, this general bursary is not tied to one specific site or host community.
Postings under this general programme have covered fields including Engineering (Mechanical and Electrical), Finance and Human Resources, among others depending on the specific intake and business need in a given year. Because Afrimat advertises bursaries per discipline and per operating site rather than as a single unified programme, prospective applicants should check Afrimat's careers page directly to see which listings are open in a given year and whether any carry a regional or community restriction.
Funding Details
The bursary is intended to cover tuition and related study costs for the supported qualification, plus mentorship, career guidance, and the possibility of vacation work, internships or graduate employment with Afrimat. The exact package can vary by field and by intake, and should be confirmed directly with Afrimat.
Where You Can Study
Afrimat does not publish a fixed list of approved universities; the bursary should be payable at any accredited South African public university or university of technology offering the relevant qualification.

View full provider profile →Fields of Study & Who Can Apply
Afrimat's general bursary postings have targeted South African citizens who have completed Matric with an overall academic average of around 60% or higher, studying or planning to study a relevant qualification (Engineering, Finance or Human Resources, depending on the specific posting) at National Diploma, BTech or Bachelor's degree level.
Because this programme is advertised at group level rather than tied to a single site, it does not appear to carry the community-residency restriction that applies to Afrimat's individual quarry bursaries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Afrimat Blue Rock, Coega or Denver Quarry bursaries?
Those bursaries are each tied to a specific Afrimat site and give preference to applicants from that site's host community. This general bursary is Afrimat's broader, group-level programme, open without that geographic restriction, though the exact fields and number of places can vary by year.
What fields does this bursary cover?
Postings under this general programme have covered Engineering (Mechanical and Electrical), Finance and Human Resources, though the exact mix depends on the year - check Afrimat's careers page for the current open listings.
Is this the same underlying programme as the site-specific quarry bursaries?
They draw on the same overall Afrimat bursary commitment and share similar terms, but the site bursaries specifically prioritise applicants from the local community near each operation, while this general listing does not.
When do applications close?
Afrimat's most recently published closing date across its bursary postings was 23 August 2026, which has already passed. Afrimat runs its bursaries on an annual cycle - check the Afrimat careers page nearer the start of the year for the next opening.
