Mossel Bay, located on the Southern Cape of South Africa, is a harbour town with a population of around 120,000. As an important tourism and farming region in the Western Cape Province, its economy has historically depended on farming, fishing, and its commercial harbour, which is the smallest within the Transnet Port Authority's network. The discovery of natural offshore gas fields in 1969 spurred the development of the gas-to-liquids refinery operated by PetroSA, further enhancing the local economy. The town's strategic location on the N2 national highway makes it a vital transport hub between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Mossel Bay's diverse economic landscape includes a variety of businesses and retail opportunities. For job seekers, the town currently has a strong demand for professionals in several sectors, with the occupations that have the biggest number of open positions being Sales, Accounting, and Food.
