Cape Town and Pretoria also had big appetites for IT professionals.

In Durban, people in engineering, accounting, and administration were most in demand, while in the East Rand people in finance, administration, and sales were most sought after.

There was little demand for people in logistics, customer service, and manufacturing anywhere in South Africa.
