3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: Posted 2 March 2026 and still listed under Job Openings on the university's careers page; the post says 'Closing date: Until position is filled. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.'.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
