About This Article
This article is an independent editorial guide based on DPSA Circular 30 of 2026.
The purpose is not simply to reproduce the government advertisement. It explains:
- which candidates each vacancy may suit;

- what experience applicants should highlight;
- how the application instructions differ between employers;
- common application mistakes;
- what applicants should prepare before applying;
- what may happen after shortlisting; and
- where applicants should verify information in the original advertisement.
Where information comes directly from the vacancy advertisement, it is presented as an official requirement. Where this article provides interpretation or career guidance, it is identified as editorial analysis.

About the Department of Higher Education and Training
The Department of Higher Education and Training forms part of South Africa’s post-school education and training system.
The DHET section of this particular circular is focused on positions at two TVET colleges:
- Ingwe TVET College
- Umfolozi TVET College
The five vacancies cover different professional functions, including partnerships, supply-chain management, risk management, labour relations and employee wellness.
This means that applicants should not treat the vacancies as interchangeable. Each position has its own qualification, experience and application requirements.
Why These Vacancies May Be Worth Considering
The five vacancies cover several different career paths within TVET college administration.
For project and partnership professionals
Post 30/36 combines project management, business development, stakeholder relations, partnerships, funding proposals and work-integrated learning.
For supply-chain professionals
Post 30/37 focuses heavily on procurement, tender processes, logistics, asset management and supplier relationships.
For risk professionals
Post 30/38 covers risk, fraud, anti-corruption, ethics and integrity management.
For labour-relations professionals
Post 30/39 focuses on disciplinary processes, grievances, disputes, collective bargaining and employment relations.
For wellness professionals
Post 30/40 concerns employee health and wellness programmes and requires an appropriate NQF Level 7 qualification.
Editorial analysis: The strongest application is not necessarily from the person with the highest qualification. It is from the applicant whose qualification and previous experience most closely match the actual duties of the advertised post.

Editorial analysis
This is the highest-paid post among the five vacancies. However, the advertisement requires relevant experience rather than simply a general management background.

Source clarification
The extracted text of the PDF contains a typographical/rendering anomaly around the Psychology qualification wording. Applicants should therefore use the original official PDF to confirm the exact qualification wording before applying.
Who Each Position Suits

| Supply Chain and Asset Management | Supply-chain, procurement, logistics and asset-management professionals |

| Employee Health and Wellness | Psychology, Social Work, Sports Science and wellness professionals |
This table is editorial guidance, not an additional qualification requirement.
Qualifications Explained in Plain Language
NQF Level 6
For these advertisements, an NQF Level 6 qualification generally refers to a higher-education qualification such as a diploma or comparable qualification, but applicants should always follow the exact field and qualification wording in the vacancy.
NQF Level 7
An NQF Level 7 qualification is a higher level than NQF 6. For Post 30/40, the advert specifies an appropriate recognised Bachelor’s Degree at NQF 7 or one of the other stated qualification routes.
“Recognised by SAQA”
Where the advertisement requires a qualification recognised by SAQA, applicants should ensure their qualification meets the recognition requirement stated by the employer.
“Equivalent qualification”
Do not automatically assume that any qualification at the same NQF level is equivalent.
The employer decides whether a qualification satisfies the advertised requirement.
Salary Levels Explained
The five advertisements use salary levels 7 through 10.
| Salary level | Advertised salary in this circular | Vacancy |
|---|---|---|
| Level 7 | R338,106 | Employee Health and Wellness Practitioner |
| Level 8 | R413,001 | Senior Risk Management Officer; Senior Labour Relations Officer |
| Level 9 | R487,197 | Assistant Director: Supply Chain and Asset Management |
| Level 10 | R605,742 | Assistant Director: Partnership and Linkages – Admin |
These figures are the advertised annual salaries, not guaranteed monthly take-home amounts.
Benefits are mentioned in the advertisements, but the adverts do not provide enough information to calculate an individual’s net salary.

Step 4: Complete the Z83 carefully
Check every section before signing.
Step 5: Update your CV
Put the most relevant experience where the selection panel can find it easily.

This is important because the Ingwe and Umfolozi instructions are not identical.

For Umfolozi, include the post name and reference number.

Step 11: Keep proof
Keep your sent email and the exact attachment you submitted.

Do not assume submission means automatic selection.
Common Application Mistakes
1. Using the wrong Z83
The circular specifically requires the new Z83 effective from 1 January 2021.
2. Missing the reference number
The DPSA’s general directions say applicants must indicate the vacancy reference number.
3. Sending the application to the wrong email
Always copy the employer’s email directly from the official advertisement.
4. Sending qualifications when prohibited
Umfolozi explicitly says qualifications and other relevant documents must not be included at the initial application stage for these posts.
5. Using one application for multiple posts
The advertisements require separate applications for each post.
6. Missing the closing time
The Umfolozi vacancies close at 16:00 on 4 September 2026.
7. Applying based only on salary
A high salary does not make a position suitable if the mandatory experience or qualification does not match.
8. Using a generic CV
A CV that does not demonstrate the relevant experience may make it harder for a panel to establish suitability.
Reasons an Application May Not Be Considered
Based on the requirements in these advertisements, potential problems include:
- incomplete application;
- late application;
- incorrect application procedure;
- failure to meet mandatory requirements;
- incorrect reference number;
- missing required Z83;
- missing CV;
- incorrect email address;
- failure to send the required PDF format;
- including documents the advertisement specifically prohibits;
- failing to submit a separate application for each post; or
- failure to follow other instructions in the specific advertisement.
These are possible reasons based on the published instructions, not a claim that every unsuccessful applicant will be rejected for one of these reasons.
Selection Process
The advertisement states that shortlisted candidates may undergo personnel suitability checks including:
- criminal-record checks;
- citizenship verification;
- qualification verification;
- financial-interest/conflict-related processes where applicable; and
- other assessments specified by the employer.
The Umfolozi posts also state that shortlisted candidates, including SMS where applicable, will undertake:
- a practical exercise; and
- an integrity/ethical-conduct assessment.
Applicants may also be subjected to a skills test where applicable.
The Ingwe advertisements similarly provide for suitability checks and practical/integrity assessments.
Interview Preparation
Partnership and Linkages
Prepare examples demonstrating:
- stakeholder management;
- partnership development;
- project delivery;
- negotiation;
- business-development activity;
- proposal writing; and
- managing competing stakeholders.
Supply Chain
Be prepared to discuss:
- tender processes;
- procurement;
- logistics;
- asset management;
- supplier management;
- compliance;
- supervision; and
- procurement planning.
Risk Management
Prepare examples involving:
- risk identification;
- fraud prevention;
- anti-corruption;
- ethics;
- integrity;
- reporting;
- investigations; and
- risk awareness.
Labour Relations
Prepare examples concerning:
- grievances;
- disciplinary cases;
- dispute resolution;
- investigations;
- negotiations;
- collective bargaining; and
- labour-relations legislation.
Employee Wellness
Prepare examples concerning:
- wellness programmes;
- counselling;
- psychosocial support;
- programme administration;
- workplace health;
- employee support; and
- stakeholder communication.
Practical tip: Use real examples. Explain the situation, what you were responsible for, what action you took and what result followed.
Career Progression
The following is general editorial career guidance, not a guarantee of promotion.
Partnership and Linkages
Potential progression:
Project/Business Development → Assistant Director → higher-level programme or management roles
Supply Chain
Potential progression:
SCM Officer/Supervisor → Assistant Director → senior SCM management
Risk Management
Potential progression:
Risk/Internal Audit Officer → Senior Risk Officer → management-level risk role
Labour Relations
Potential progression:
Labour Relations/HR Officer → Senior Officer → Assistant Director → management
Employee Wellness
Potential progression:
Wellness Practitioner → senior wellness/HR role → management-level employee wellness position
Future progression depends on qualifications, performance, available vacancies and the requirements of future advertisements.
Foreign Qualifications
Applicants with foreign qualifications should pay particular attention to the SAQA requirements.
For the Ingwe vacancies, the advertisement states that applicants with foreign qualifications must submit a SAQA evaluation certificate on or before the interview.
Applicants should read the specific advertisement carefully because foreign-qualification instructions can differ between vacancies.
What Applicants Should Not Do
Do not:
- pay someone to “secure” the job;
- fabricate qualifications;
- exaggerate experience;
- submit false references;
- use an unofficial application form;
- ignore the employer’s document instructions;
- send sensitive personal documents to an unverified third party;
- assume dpsacircular.co.za receives applications; or
- assume that appearing on this page means you have been shortlisted.
The application should go to the employer and through the method stated in the official advertisement.

Editorial Methodology
To make this guide useful rather than a simple copy of the circular:
- vacancy facts are taken from the official advertisement;
- application instructions are kept specific to each post;
- editorial explanations are clearly identified;
- qualification explanations are simplified without changing the advertised requirement;
- career advice is presented as general guidance;
- no third-party application route is substituted for the employer’s published route;
- the official circular is linked prominently;
- the article identifies its publication and checking dates; and
- corrections are documented through the corrections policy below.
This approach is intended to support people-first content rather than keyword-focused rewriting. Google’s guidance says content should be created primarily to benefit people, while Bing’s guidance addresses quality and how content is evaluated across search and AI experiences.
