. Preserve all original content word-for-word, no addition/removal. Must output only HTML.
We need to parse the raw text and produce HTML with appropriate tags.
Given the raw text includes many tags with style attributes etc. We need to strip those and produce plain HTML.
We need to identify sections: There's a title: "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (emphasis). Then a paragraph: "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this."
Then blank paragraphs.
Then a bold "Job Description". Then description paragraphs.
Then a line: "This role manages the sales and sales support processes through other managers and their teams, over periods of 3 months to 1 year to ensure branch profitability and to meet business targets."
Then blank lines.
Then: "The position has been identified as a FAIS position and falls within the ambit contemplated by FAIS related to Category B. The successful candidates must therefore comply with all FAIS requirements, including the Fit and Proper requirements of Honesty and Integrity (e.g. be clear of any offence relating to fraud, dishonesty and/or any professional misconduct) as well as competence and relevant qualifications."
Then line breaks:
then bullet list lines: "Manages sales & sales support processes to ensure branch profitability & to meet business targets." etc.
Then a line with " " (non-breaking space) maybe.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then bold "Skills". Then blank paragraphs.
Then bold "Competencies". Then list of competencies each followed by

It seems each competency is followed by empty tags (maybe formatting artifacts). We need to preserve content word-for-word, but we must strip style attributes and tags like ?? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". However we also need to output HTML with only ,
, - . We cannot keep
tags because they are not allowed? The rules say: Use for section headers. Use - for list items. No CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags. It doesn't explicitly forbid other tags like , but we should probably only use allowed tags? It says "Use
for introductory paragraphs and general text. Use
for section headers ... Use - for list items". It doesn't say we cannot use other tags, but to be safe we should convert everything to allowed tags. However preserving original content word-for-word means we cannot remove text content, but we can change tags? The content includes which are empty tags; removing them would be removing content (though empty). Might be considered formatting artifacts; we could ignore them as they have no visible content. The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If we remove tags, we are removing characters, which is a change. But they are empty, so removing them doesn't change visible text. Might be acceptable? Usually these tasks expect to strip out formatting and produce clean HTML. I'd interpret that we should keep the textual content, not the markup. So we can discard empty tags.
Thus we need to extract the textual content and wrap appropriately.
Let's extract the visible text:
- Title: Let's Write Africa's Story Together!
- Paragraph: Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.
- (blank lines)
- Job Description heading (bold) but we treat as section header? The rule says use
for section headers like Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc. "Job Description" could be a section header; we can use Job Description
.
- Then paragraphs under Job Description:
- "This role manages the sales and sales support processes through other managers and their teams, over periods of 3 months to 1 year to ensure branch profitability and to meet business targets."
- "The position has been identified as a FAIS position and falls within the ambit contemplated by FAIS related to Category B. The successful candidates must therefore comply with all FAIS requirements, including the Fit and Proper requirements of Honesty and Integrity (e.g. be clear of any offence relating to fraud, dishonesty and/or any professional misconduct) as well as competence and relevant qualifications."
- Then list items (duties):
- Manages sales & sales support processes to ensure branch profitability & to meet business targets.
- Identifies potential new markets & opens up the markets with assistance of Sales Manager.
- Responsible for the external relationship management with key stakeholders.
- Develops local market & resource plan for area.
- Monitors area results.
- Performance manages, coaches and mentors Sales / Branch Managers.
- Responsible for 3-6 Branch / Sales Managers.
(Note: The ampersand encoded & should be kept as &? The original content includes &. We should preserve exactly as given? The instruction says preserve original content word-for-word. So we should keep & as is. However when outputting HTML, & will be interpreted as &. But we need to output the literal characters &? Usually you would output & as & to display &. But if we output & inside HTML, it will be rendered as &. To preserve the original, we could output & as is; that will be interpreted as & but that's okay. The original text had & which is HTML entity for &. In plain text they'd have &. We'll keep &.
- Then after that there is a non-breaking space " " maybe ignore.
- Then Skills heading: Skills -> use Skills
. Then maybe list of skills? There's no list after Skills heading; just blank then Competencies heading.
- Competencies heading: Competencies -> Competencies
. Then list of competencies each maybe as list items. The raw shows each competency followed by empty tags. So we can treat each competency as a list item.
List of competencies:
Builds Effective Teams
Builds Networks
Business Insight
Collaborates
Communicates Effectively
Customer Focus
Drives Vision and Purpose
Ensures Accountability
- Then Education heading: Education -> Education
. No content after? There's blank paragraphs then Closing Date.
- Closing Date heading: Closing Date -> Closing Date
. Then date: "04 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? We'll keep as is.
- Then italic bold paragraph: "The appointment will be made from the designated group in line with the Employment Equity Plan of Old Mutual South Africa and the specific business unit in question." This is a statement; we can wrap in
with ... but we cannot use inline styles but we can use and tags? The rules didn't forbid or . They only said no CSS classes, no inline styles, no , no
. Using and is okay. However we could also just keep as plain text; but to preserve original content we should keep the tags? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. So we should keep those tags exactly. However we also need to output only HTML; we can keep ... inside a . That's fine.
- Then final italic emphasis-2: "The Old Mutual Story!" This includes a span with class; we cannot keep class attribute because no CSS classes allowed. But we must preserve original content word-for-word; but we cannot include class attribute because that violates rule. However we could drop the class attribute? That would be removing content (the class). The rule says "No CSS classes". So we must omit the class attribute. But then we are not preserving original content exactly. However the instruction to remove CSS classes overrides preservation? The earlier instruction: "Remove all of the following: ... Category labels that aren't part of the job (e.g., 'Internships' as a standalone line)". It didn't explicitly say to remove CSS classes, but the later rules for HTML say "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
s, no
tags". So we must strip class attribute. So we will output The Old Mutual Story! (without span). That removes the class attribute and the span tags. That's a change but necessary to comply with rule. We'll assume that's acceptable.
Now we need to decide on using for section headers: Job Description, Skills, Competencies, Education, Closing Date. Also maybe "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" could be considered a title; but not a section header per list. Could wrap in
or maybe
? The rule says use for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using for other headings, but we could use
for title. Safer: treat title as
.
Now we need to wrap paragraphs in
. For list items, use
- . For duties list under Job Description, we need to make a
. For competencies list, also .
We must preserve original content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change wording, punctuation, spaces. We must keep exactly as given. However we need to convert line breaks to HTML tags; that's okay.
Let's extract exact text strings:
Title: "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (note HTML entity for apostrophe). We'll keep that.
Paragraph after title: "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this."
Then blank paragraphs (ignore).
Then "Job Description" heading (bold). We'll output Job Description
.
Then paragraph: "This role manages the sales and sales support processes through other managers and their teams, over periods of 3 months to 1 year to ensure branch profitability and to meet business targets."
Then paragraph: "The position has been identified as a FAIS position and falls within the ambit contemplated by FAIS related to Category B. The successful candidates must therefore comply with all FAIS requirements, including the Fit and Proper requirements of Honesty and Integrity (e.g. be clear of any offence relating to fraud, dishonesty and/or any professional misconduct) as well as competence and relevant qualifications."
Then list items (duties). Each line ends with a period. We'll capture exactly:
1. "Manages sales & sales support processes to ensure branch profitability & to meet business targets."
2. "Identifies potential new markets & opens up the markets with assistance of Sales Manager."
3. "Responsible for the external relationship management with key stakeholders."
4. "Develops local market & resource plan for area."
5. "Monitors area results."
6. "Performance manages, coaches and mentors Sales / Branch Managers."
7. "Responsible for 3-6 Branch / Sales Managers."
Note there is a trailing space? We'll keep as is.
Then after list there is a non-breaking space " ". We'll ignore as it's likely formatting.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then "Skills" heading: Skills
. No content after? Possibly none.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then "Competencies" heading: Competencies
.
Then list items for competencies:
- "Builds Effective Teams"
- "Builds Networks"
- "Business Insight"
- "Collaborates"
- "Communicates Effectively"
- "Customer Focus"
- "Drives Vision and Purpose"
- "Ensures Accountability"
Note each originally had trailing etc. We'll ignore those tags.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then "Education" heading: Education
. No content.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then "Closing Date" heading: Closing Date
.
Then paragraph: "04 October 2026 , 23:59". Keep exactly.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then italic bold statement: "The appointment will be made from the designated group in line with the Employment Equity Plan of Old Mutual South Africa and the specific business unit in question." We'll wrap in maybe.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then final emphasis: "The Old Mutual Story!" We'll strip class and span, output The Old Mutual Story! inside
.
Now we need to produce HTML with only
,
, - . We can also include and inside
as they are not prohibited. The rule didn't forbid them. It only said no CSS classes, no inline styles, no
, no
. So we can keep and .
Thus final HTML:
Let's Write Africa's Story Together!
Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.

Check for any missing content: The original had some blank paragraphs and stray "na" line? Actually after the list there was a line "na". Let's re-examine original snippet:
After the list, we saw:
naSkills
There is "na" after a non-breaking space paragraph. That "na" might be stray text. We need to decide whether to keep it. The instruction: Remove stray numbers or formatting artifacts. "na" could be a formatting artifact. Likely it's not part of job description. Should we remove it? The instruction says remove stray numbers or formatting artifacts. "na" is letters, not numbers, but could be artifact. I'd treat as stray and remove. So we omitted it.
Also there were multiple empty tags; we ignored.
Now ensure we didn't miss any text: After "Skills" heading there were blank paragraphs then "Competencies". Good.
After competencies list there were blank paragraphs then Education heading.
After Education heading there were blank paragraphs then Closing Date heading.
After Closing Date heading there were blank paragraphs then date line.
After date line there were blank paragraphs then italic bold statement.
After that blank paragraphs then final emphasis.
All good.

. Then maybe list of skills? There's no list after Skills heading; just blank then Competencies heading.
- Competencies heading: Competencies -> Competencies
. Then list of competencies each maybe as list items. The raw shows each competency followed by empty tags. So we can treat each competency as a list item.
List of competencies:
Builds Effective Teams
Builds Networks
Business Insight
Collaborates
Communicates Effectively
Customer Focus
Drives Vision and Purpose
Ensures Accountability
- Then Education heading: Education -> Education

- Closing Date heading: Closing Date -> Closing Date
. Then date: "04 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? We'll keep as is.
- Then italic bold paragraph: "The appointment will be made from the designated group in line with the Employment Equity Plan of Old Mutual South Africa and the specific business unit in question." This is a statement; we can wrap in
with ... but we cannot use inline styles but we can use and tags? The rules didn't forbid or . They only said no CSS classes, no inline styles, no , no
. Using and is okay. However we could also just keep as plain text; but to preserve original content we should keep the tags? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. So we should keep those tags exactly. However we also need to output only HTML; we can keep ... inside a . That's fine.
- Then final italic emphasis-2: "The Old Mutual Story!" This includes a span with class; we cannot keep class attribute because no CSS classes allowed. But we must preserve original content word-for-word; but we cannot include class attribute because that violates rule. However we could drop the class attribute? That would be removing content (the class). The rule says "No CSS classes". So we must omit the class attribute. But then we are not preserving original content exactly. However the instruction to remove CSS classes overrides preservation? The earlier instruction: "Remove all of the following: ... Category labels that aren't part of the job (e.g., 'Internships' as a standalone line)". It didn't explicitly say to remove CSS classes, but the later rules for HTML say "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
s, no
tags". So we must strip class attribute. So we will output The Old Mutual Story! (without span). That removes the class attribute and the span tags. That's a change but necessary to comply with rule. We'll assume that's acceptable.
Now we need to decide on using for section headers: Job Description, Skills, Competencies, Education, Closing Date. Also maybe "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" could be considered a title; but not a section header per list. Could wrap in
or maybe
? The rule says use for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using for other headings, but we could use
for title. Safer: treat title as
.
Now we need to wrap paragraphs in
. For list items, use
- . For duties list under Job Description, we need to make a
. For competencies list, also .
We must preserve original content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change wording, punctuation, spaces. We must keep exactly as given. However we need to convert line breaks to HTML tags; that's okay.
Let's extract exact text strings:
Title: "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (note HTML entity for apostrophe). We'll keep that.
Paragraph after title: "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this."
Then blank paragraphs (ignore).
Then "Job Description" heading (bold). We'll output Job Description
.
Then paragraph: "This role manages the sales and sales support processes through other managers and their teams, over periods of 3 months to 1 year to ensure branch profitability and to meet business targets."
Then paragraph: "The position has been identified as a FAIS position and falls within the ambit contemplated by FAIS related to Category B. The successful candidates must therefore comply with all FAIS requirements, including the Fit and Proper requirements of Honesty and Integrity (e.g. be clear of any offence relating to fraud, dishonesty and/or any professional misconduct) as well as competence and relevant qualifications."
Then list items (duties). Each line ends with a period. We'll capture exactly:
1. "Manages sales & sales support processes to ensure branch profitability & to meet business targets."
2. "Identifies potential new markets & opens up the markets with assistance of Sales Manager."
3. "Responsible for the external relationship management with key stakeholders."
4. "Develops local market & resource plan for area."
5. "Monitors area results."
6. "Performance manages, coaches and mentors Sales / Branch Managers."
7. "Responsible for 3-6 Branch / Sales Managers."
Note there is a trailing space? We'll keep as is.
Then after list there is a non-breaking space " ". We'll ignore as it's likely formatting.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then "Skills" heading: Skills
. No content after? Possibly none.
Then blank paragraphs.
Then "Competencies" heading: Competencies

Then list items for competencies:

Check for any missing content: The original had some blank paragraphs and stray "na" line? Actually after the list there was a line "na". Let's re-examine original snippet:
After the list, we saw:
naSkills
There is "na" after a non-breaking space paragraph. That "na" might be stray text. We need to decide whether to keep it. The instruction: Remove stray numbers or formatting artifacts. "na" could be a formatting artifact. Likely it's not part of job description. Should we remove it? The instruction says remove stray numbers or formatting artifacts. "na" is letters, not numbers, but could be artifact. I'd treat as stray and remove. So we omitted it.
Also there were multiple empty tags; we ignored.
Now ensure we didn't miss any text: After "Skills" heading there were blank paragraphs then "Competencies". Good.
After competencies list there were blank paragraphs then Education heading.
After Education heading there were blank paragraphs then Closing Date heading.
After Closing Date heading there were blank paragraphs then date line.
After date line there were blank paragraphs then italic bold statement.
After that blank paragraphs then final emphasis.
All good.
Now verify we haven't added any extra content not present. We added
tags for headings that were originally

The content includes which are empty tags; removing them would be removing content (though empty). Might be considered formatting artifacts; we could ignore them as they have no visible content. The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If we remove tags, we are removing characters, which is a change. But they are empty, so removing them doesn't change visible text. Might be acceptable? Usually these tasks expect to strip out formatting and produce clean HTML. I'd interpret that we should keep the textual content, not the markup. So we can discard empty tags.
