Provincial Vacancies
The provincial section begins at Post 31/95 and covers departments and entities in Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West and Western Cape.

Important Point About the Vacancy Index
The vacancy index above is an editorial navigation aid.
It does not replace the official advertisement.
Individual advertisements contain details such as:
- Number of posts
- Exact reference numbers
- Salary notches
- Centres
- Minimum qualifications
- Experience
- Duties
- Application email addresses
- Online recruitment systems
- Enquiry contacts
- Closing dates
- Department-specific notes
For this reason, readers should open the official PDF and read the complete advertisement before applying.
Closing Dates
Circular 31 does not have one universal closing date.
Examples include:
Department of Agriculture:
11 September 2026 at 16:00.
Department of Basic Education:
11 September 2026.
Department of Employment and Labour:
11 September 2026 at 16:00 for walk-in applications and 23:59 for online applications.
Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment:
14 September 2026 at 16:00.
Some Higher Education and Training advertisements:
15 September 2026 at 16:00.
These dates show why applicants should never assume the same deadline applies to every vacancy.
Amendments and Withdrawals in Circular 31
This section is important because Circular 31 does more than advertise new vacancies.
It also contains amendments and withdrawals involving previous circulars.
Department of Correctional Services withdrawals
The Department of Correctional Services withdrew several posts previously advertised in Circular 29.
The affected posts include Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and Community Member positions in parts of Gauteng and Eastern Cape.
Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation amendment
Two posts previously advertised with incorrect reference numbers were amended.
Deputy Director: Procurement changed from reference 14/2025 to 14/2026.
Assistant Director: Demand and Acquisition Management changed from reference 15/2025 to 15/2026.
The closing date was extended to 4 September 2026.
Applicants who already applied do not need to re-apply.
Department of Electricity and Energy withdrawal
The Director: SOC Governance and Legal Assurance post, reference DEE2026/015, previously advertised in Circular 28, was withdrawn.
KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport amendments
Circular 31 changes the salary notch for Artisan Production Grade A posts, references DOT 180/2026 to DOT 184/2026, to R253,341 per annum.
The number of Compliance Officer: Monitoring & Evaluation posts under reference DOT 177/2026 was also changed from four to three.
Certain Handyman and Cleaner: Depot Team posts were withdrawn.
What the Requirements Mean
Government vacancy advertisements often contain several layers of requirements.
Qualification
The qualification requirement tells you the minimum educational or professional background required for the post.
For example, the Department of Agriculture’s Deputy Director: Small Business Development requires Grade 12 together with a degree in fields such as Agricultural Economics, Economics, Business Management or Development Studies.
Experience
Experience requirements usually relate to the type of work performed in the vacancy.
A candidate who has a qualification but does not meet a mandatory experience requirement should not assume the qualification alone is sufficient.
Professional registration
Some professional posts require registration with the relevant professional council.
Where registration is listed as compulsory, applicants should treat the requirement as part of the minimum eligibility criteria.
Driver’s licence
Some positions require a valid driver’s licence because the work involves travelling, field activities or operational duties.
Skills
Advertisements also list technical and behavioural skills.
These requirements help applicants understand what the department expects from the person appointed.
Who Should Apply?
You should consider a Circular 31 vacancy when you:
- Meet the minimum qualification.
- Meet the required experience.
- Hold mandatory professional registration where required.
- Meet driver’s licence requirements where applicable.
- Meet any citizenship requirements stated in the advertisement.

Application Method
Application methods vary.
Circular 31 contains advertisements using:
- Hand delivery
- Post
- Online recruitment systems
- Department-specific electronic application platforms
The Department of Agriculture, for example, accepts applications by email or hand delivery and requires a completed Z83 and detailed CV.
DFFE requires online applications through its recruitment system.
The Department of Employment and Labour gives specific instructions for online submissions, including combining the Z83 and CV into one PDF attachment for the relevant applications.
Follow the method stated in the individual vacancy.
Z83 Requirements
The circular instructs prospective applicants to use the new Z83, effective from 1 January 2021. Applicants must also indicate the vacancy reference number.
Some departments provide additional Z83 instructions.
The Department of Basic Education states that the old Z83 will result in disqualification, requires the form to be completed in full and requires page 2 to be signed.
The Department of Employment and Labour also states that each post should have its own application form and provides detailed completion instructions.

Document requirements vary.
A vacancy might request:
- New Z83
- Detailed CV
- Qualification documents at shortlisting stage

Using the old Z83

Missing the reference number
The general circular instructions require applicants to indicate the vacancy reference number.
Sending an application to DPSA
DPSA issues the circular, but the individual advertising department handles vacancy enquiries and applications.
Using the wrong email address
Government departments often use different email addresses for different posts.
Applying after the deadline
Late applications might not be considered.
Sending the wrong file type
Some departments specify PDF requirements and reject unsupported formats.
Sending one application for multiple posts
Where separate applications are required, submit separate applications.
Ignoring amendments
A previous advertisement might have a changed reference number, salary, number of posts or closing date.
Applying for a withdrawn vacancy
Always check the amendment and withdrawal notices before applying for an older advertisement.
Copying inaccurate information into your application
Government advertisements include verification and suitability checks. Applicants should provide accurate information.

These are examples from specific advertisements, not a universal government salary scale.
SMS Positions
Applicants interested in Senior Management Service vacancies should read the additional requirements carefully.
The circular provides information about the SMS pre-entry certificate and directs applicants to the National School of Government for details.
Some department advertisements also require shortlisted SMS candidates to complete technical exercises, practical assessments, integrity assessments and managerial competency assessments.
What Happens After You Apply?
The exact recruitment process depends on the department and position.
Applicants should expect possible stages such as:
- Application screening
- Shortlisting
- Qualification verification
- Employment verification
- Reference checks
- Personnel suitability checks
- Practical or technical assessment
- Integrity assessment
- Interview
- Competency assessment where applicable
- Security vetting where applicable
- Final recommendation
- Appointment
For example, DFFE states that shortlisted candidates undergo screening and security vetting, while some SMS applicants undergo practical and integrity assessments.
How to Choose the Right Circular 31 Vacancy
Do not apply for every job because the title sounds attractive.
Start with your qualification.
Then check:
- Required experience.
- Professional registration.
- Location.
- Salary.
- Duties.
- Application method.
- Closing date.
A good match should satisfy the minimum requirements before you spend time preparing the application.
How to Improve Your Application
Your application should make the relevant evidence easy for the recruiting department to identify.
Use a detailed CV.
Describe your previous responsibilities clearly.
Match your experience to the advertised duties without copying the advertisement word-for-word.
Check dates, job titles, qualifications and references for accuracy.
Complete the Z83 according to the department’s instructions.
