About Naspers Labs Established in 1915, Naspers has transformed itself to become a global consumer internet company and one of the largest technology investors in the world. In South Africa, Naspers is one of the foremost investors in the technology sector and is committed to building its internet and ecommerce companies in the country. These include Takealot, Mr D Food, Autotrader and Property24, in addition to Media24, South Africa’s leading print and digital media business. Naspers Labs is the social impact vehicle for the Naspers Group, driven by the goal to solve for South Africa’s youth unemployment challenge. We understand that for many of South Africa’s young people, and in particular those from vulnerable households, the transition into the labour markets and economic activity is challenging. The barriers which inhibit our youth’s active participation in the economy (be it labour markets/ entrepreneurship) are somewhat systemic; for example educational outcomes, skills and labour mismatch, and inequality. At Naspers Labs, we are at the forefront solving for this challenge, providing industry led innovative solutions to enable our young South Africans to access work experience opportunities in an increasingly digital world. We achieve this by collaborating with industries and skills development delivery partners for job creation – at scale. OUR COMMITMENT TO BUILDING A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE We think about diversity and inclusion broadly and respect the dignity and human rights of individuals and communities wherever we operate in the world. Naspers is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To this end, all positions will be filled in accordance with our Employment Equity plan. We also encourage candidates with disabilities to apply.
