The table helps you identify positions that match your qualifications and experience. Do not select a vacancy based on salary alone. Check the minimum qualifications, required experience, work location and duties before preparing your application.

1. ICT System Administrator (Unix/Linux and Windows)

Reference number: 3/3/1/87/2026
Directorate: ICT Service Delivery and Operations
Salary: R487,197, Level 09
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Number of posts: 1
Email: ICTSArecruit87@nda.gov.za
Enquiries: Ms M Nemutendani, (012) 319 6154 / 6195

Minimum requirements

Applicants must have:

• Grade 12.
• A National Diploma in Information Technology or Computer Science at NQF Level 6.
• Three years of IT experience.
• At least one year of experience in a Unix/Linux server environment.

The experience requirement needs careful attention. The advertisement asks for three years of IT experience, including one year in a Unix/Linux server environment.

For example, an applicant with three years of general IT support experience but only six months of Unix/Linux server experience does not meet the stated one-year Unix/Linux requirement.

Having a general IT qualification is not enough on its own. Your CV should show the type of systems you have worked with and the duration of your relevant experience.

Knowledge and technical skills

The position requires knowledge of:

• Windows, Unix and Linux operating systems.
• Active Directory and Group Policy Objects.
• Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft 365.
• Microsoft Entra ID.
• Hyper-V virtualisation.
• DHCP, DNS and TCP/IP networking.
• File and print services.
• Server monitoring and troubleshooting.

The successful applicant will also need practical skills in server operating system installation, configuration and maintenance, cloud and hybrid environments, automation and scripting.

Teamwork and attention to detail are also listed as important skills. A valid driver’s licence is required.

Main duties

The successful candidate will support the Department’s server infrastructure and ICT environment.

Responsibilities include:

• Maintaining server infrastructure.
• Supporting Active Directory and related services.
• Managing Microsoft 365 and Entra ID environments.
• Monitoring systems and resolving technical problems.
• Supporting ICT governance requirements.
• Researching emerging technology and infrastructure trends.
• Contributing to work involving Zero Trust security and artificial intelligence.

Practical application insight

An ICT CV should provide more than a list of software names.

Suppose you have worked in an IT support environment for four years. Your CV should distinguish between desktop support, server administration, networking and cloud responsibilities.

A useful experience entry might explain:

• Which operating systems you administered.
• Whether you installed, configured or maintained servers.
• Your experience with Active Directory and Group Policy.
• Whether you supported Microsoft 365 or Entra ID.
• The type of server or network problems you resolved.
• How long you worked with Unix or Linux servers.

Only include tasks you have performed. Do not claim server administration experience if your work involved desktop support alone.

Employment equity information: The vacancy notice identifies African females and persons with disabilities as target groups.

2. Senior Agricultural Scientist (Senior Lecturer)

Reference number: 3/3/1/88/2026
Institution: Grootfontein Agricultural Development Institute
Salary: R487,197, Level 09
Location: Middelburg, Eastern Cape
Number of posts: 1
Email: SASrecruit88@nda.gov.za
Enquiries: Mr T Cebani, (049) 802 6605

Minimum requirements

Applicants must have:

• Grade 12.
• A BSc Agriculture qualification specialising in Animal Science.
• Three years of experience in higher education.

The experience requirement is important. The advertisement specifically asks for three years of higher education experience. General employment in agriculture should not automatically be treated as equivalent to higher education experience.

If your background includes teaching, lecturing, academic support or other higher education responsibilities, explain those duties clearly in your CV.

Main duties

The Senior Agricultural Scientist will perform academic, research and agricultural development duties.

Responsibilities include:

• Developing and updating academic curricula.
• Teaching and facilitating learning.
• Assessing students and moderating academic work.
• Conducting research.
• Supporting applied livestock production.
• Mentoring students and stakeholders.
• Providing agricultural advice to farmers.
• Performing administrative and supervisory duties.

The role combines academic work with practical agricultural knowledge. Applicants should therefore explain both their academic experience and their involvement in livestock production or agricultural research where relevant.

READ: How to Keep a Record of Your Government Job Applications

Practical application insight

A common weakness in academic CVs is listing qualifications without explaining teaching and research responsibilities.

For this position, your CV should make your higher education experience easy to identify.

For example, instead of writing:

“Worked as a lecturer for three years.”

Provide more detail about your actual work:

• Subjects or modules taught.
• Student groups supported.
• Curriculum development responsibilities.
• Assessment and moderation work.
• Research projects undertaken.
• Livestock production projects or farmer support activities.

If you have supervised students or contributed to applied agricultural research, include those details. They help the selection panel understand the relevance of your experience.

Employment equity information: The vacancy notice identifies African males, Coloured females and persons with disabilities as target groups.

3. Human Resource Practitioner: Recruitment and Selection

Reference number: 3/3/1/89/2026
Directorate: Human Resource Administration
Number of posts: 4
Contract period: 12 months, fixed term
Salary: R338,106, Level 07, plus 37% in lieu of benefits
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Email: HRPrecruit89@nda.gov.za
Enquiries: Mr Godfrey Matloga, (012) 319 9416

Minimum requirements

Applicants must have:

• Grade 12.
• A National Diploma in Human Resource Management at NQF Level 6.
• At least one year of experience in Recruitment and Selection.

The position is a 12-month fixed-term appointment. Applicants should take note of the contract period before applying.

The advertised salary is R338,106 at Level 07, plus 37% in lieu of benefits. The additional 37% is part of the remuneration information in the vacancy notice. Applicants should not assume the arrangement is identical to a permanent appointment with a separate benefits package.

Knowledge and skills

The advertisement requires knowledge of public service human resource legislation and related employment requirements.

These include:

• Public Service Act and Public Service Regulations.
• Employment Equity Act.
• Labour Relations Act.
• Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
• Recruitment and selection procedures.
• Human resource administration.

Applicants should also understand recruitment documentation, appointment processes, employment records and relevant administrative procedures.

Main duties

The successful candidates will support recruitment and selection activities.

Responsibilities include:

• Preparing and publishing recruitment advertisements.
• Processing application-to-fill documentation.
• Supporting interview arrangements.
• Assisting with selection processes.
• Processing appointment documentation.
• Conducting relevant checks.
• Maintaining recruitment databases.
• Providing recruitment and selection advisory services.

Practical application insight

Recruitment experience involves more than receiving CVs and arranging interviews.

An applicant who has worked with vacancy advertisements, application screening, interview administration, appointment documentation and recruitment records should explain those responsibilities separately.

For example, a CV entry could describe how the applicant:

• Prepared vacancy advertisements.
• Checked application documents against minimum requirements.
• Arranged interview schedules.
• Prepared selection documentation.
• Updated recruitment records.
• Assisted with appointment administration.

Do not claim responsibility for final appointment decisions if your role was limited to administrative support.

There are four posts under this reference number. This does not mean applicants should submit four applications for the same vacancy. The annexure instructs applicants to submit a separate application for each post they wish to apply for. Follow the Department’s instructions and avoid duplicate submissions for the same post.

4. Senior Laboratory Assistant

Reference number: 3/3/1/86/2026
Directorate: Inspection Services
Salary: R237,453, Level 05
Location: Stellenbosch, Western Cape

Enquiries: Mr T. Pongolo, (021) 809 1640

Minimum requirements

Applicants must have:

• Grade 12.
• Three years of relevant experience in Laboratory and Horticulture.

The advertisement refers to experience in both laboratory and horticulture. Applicants should explain how their previous work relates to these areas.

Do not assume that general laboratory experience automatically demonstrates horticultural experience. Describe the actual work performed and the environment in which you gained the experience.

Knowledge and skills

The vacancy requires knowledge of:

• Laboratory quality systems.
• Laboratory techniques.
• Laboratory safety procedures.
• Relevant agricultural legislation.
• Handling and preparation of samples.
• Laboratory equipment and records.

Practical attention to safety, accuracy and record keeping is important in laboratory work.

Main duties

The Senior Laboratory Assistant will support laboratory operations and inspection services.

Responsibilities include:

• Preparing samples for analysis.
• Performing routine analysis of agricultural products.
• Supporting analysis of food and liquor products.
• Calibrating and maintaining laboratory equipment.
• Maintaining laboratory records.
• Following safety procedures.
• Handling chemicals responsibly.

Practical application insight

A laboratory CV should explain the equipment, procedures and sample types you have handled.

For example, if you have prepared agricultural samples, performed routine tests or maintained laboratory equipment, describe those activities.

A useful CV entry should explain:

• The types of samples handled.
• The laboratory procedures performed.
• Equipment operated or maintained.
• Quality control and record-keeping responsibilities.
• Safety procedures followed.
• The duration of the relevant experience.

Do not add laboratory techniques or equipment to your CV simply because they appear in the vacancy advertisement. Include only skills you have.

Employment equity information: The vacancy notice identifies African males, African females and persons with disabilities as target groups.

5. Driver/Messenger

Directorate: Animal Health
Salary: R201,093, Level 04

• A valid Code 8 driver’s licence.
• At least seven months of relevant experience.

The advertisement specifies a Code 8 licence. Applicants should check their licence details before applying.

The minimum experience requirement is seven months of relevant experience. The advertisement does not state that a driver’s licence alone replaces the experience requirement.

The Driver/Messenger will provide transport and messenger support to the Department.

Responsibilities include:

• Transporting passengers.
• Delivering documents.
• Checking vehicles.
• Maintaining vehicle records.
• Completing logbooks.

Explain your previous driving or messenger responsibilities, including the type of work performed.

Relevant details include:

• Passenger transport experience.

How to Apply for Department of Agriculture Vacancies

The Department requires applicants to submit a completed Z83 form and a detailed CV in PDF format.

The CV must not exceed 10 MB.

Applications must be submitted by email or hand delivery, using the method and address provided in the relevant vacancy notice.

Step 1: Choose the correct vacancy

Read the requirements for each position before preparing your application.

Check:

• The job title.
• The reference number.
• The minimum qualification.
• The required experience.
• The location.
• The application email address.

Do not send your application to an email address belonging to another vacancy.

Step 2: Complete the Z83 application form

Complete the Z83 form carefully.

Check that your personal details, contact information, education and employment information are accurate.

Use the correct vacancy title and reference number where required.

Review the form before submission. Missing information or inconsistent details can create problems during the recruitment process.

Step 3: Prepare a detailed CV

Your CV should explain how your qualifications and experience relate to the vacancy.

Include:

• Your full name and contact details.
• Educational qualifications.
• Employment history.
• Relevant work experience.
• Duties and responsibilities.
• Technical or professional skills relevant to the post.
• Professional registration, where applicable and relevant.

Use clear dates for previous employment. Where a vacancy requires a specific period of experience, make the duration easy to verify.

For example, if the ICT vacancy requires three years of IT experience, your CV should show the employment dates and duties supporting that experience.

Step 4: Save your CV in PDF format

The Department specifies a PDF CV with a maximum file size of 10 MB.

Before sending your application:

1. Open the saved PDF.
2. Check that every page is readable.
3. Confirm that the document is complete.
4. Check that the file opens correctly.
5. Confirm that the file size is below the stated limit.

A practical file name is:

YourName_ReferenceNumber_CV.pdf

For example:

ThaboMokoena_3-3-1-87-2026_CV.pdf

This is a suggested file-naming approach, not a separately stated Department requirement.

Step 5: Submit your application to the correct email address

Use the email address listed under your chosen vacancy.

Position	Application email
ICT System Administrator	ICTSArecruit87@nda.gov.za
Senior Agricultural Scientist	SASrecruit88@nda.gov.za
Human Resource Practitioner	HRPrecruit89@nda.gov.za
Senior Laboratory Assistant	SLArecruit86@nda.gov.za
Driver/Messenger	DMrecruit90@nda.gov.za

Attach the completed Z83 form and detailed CV in PDF format.

Use a clear email subject containing the vacancy title and reference number. This is a practical recommendation to help identify your application, rather than an additional requirement stated in the annexure.

Before sending, check the recipient address character by character.

Step 6: Keep proof of submission

Save the email you sent and retain a copy of the attached documents.

If you submit by hand, keep any available proof of delivery.

The Department states that it will not acknowledge receipt of applications because of the high volume of applications. Keeping your own records helps you confirm what you submitted and when.

Application Deadline: 16 October 2026

The closing date for the five advertised vacancy categories is:

16 October 2026 at 16:00.

Do not wait until the final minutes to submit your application.

The Department states that it will not accept late applications resulting from technical problems. It also states that it will not take responsibility for server delays.

For this reason, submit early enough to allow time to correct an incorrect attachment, email address or file-size problem.

A sent email is not proof that the Department has accepted an application as complete or that the applicant meets the requirements.

Documents Required When Applying

For the initial application, the annexure requires:

• A completed Z83 application form.
• A detailed CV in PDF format, not exceeding 10 MB.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide certified documents where necessary.

These include:

• Identity document.
• Relevant qualifications.
• Service certificates supporting experience required for Senior Management Service posts.
• SAQA evaluation reports for foreign qualifications, where applicable.

The annexure also refers to additional requirements for Senior Management Service positions.

Applicants should not send documents that the advertisement does not request at the initial application stage unless the Department’s instructions require them. Keep relevant supporting documents ready in case the Department requests them.

What Happens After You Submit Your Application?

Submitting an application is the first stage of the recruitment process. It does not guarantee an interview or appointment.

The Department states that communication will be limited to shortlisted candidates.

If you do not receive a response within three months, you should regard your application as unsuccessful.

The Department also reserves the right not to fill a post, cancel recruitment or re-advertise a vacancy.

Shortlisting and supporting documents

The Department will assess applications against the requirements and selection criteria for the post.

If shortlisted, you should be ready to provide the supporting documents requested by the Department.

Check that your qualification documents, identity information and employment history match the information in your application.

Additional assessments for SMS positions

The annexure contains additional requirements for Senior Management Service positions.

These include a technical exercise, an interview, psychometric assessment for a maximum of three SMS candidates and two pre-entry assessments.

These requirements should not be confused with the five vacancies covered in this guide. The listed posts are not identified in the supplied vacancy information as SMS posts.

Applicants should follow the specific instructions issued for the position they apply for.

Important Recruitment Notices in the Annexure

The supplied Annexure A also contains two notices that applicants should understand.

Campus Manager erratum

The annexure includes an erratum for the Campus Manager post with reference number 3/3/1/49/2026.

The correction relates to employment equity targets for a vacancy originally advertised in DPSA Circular 24.

The corrected application period is 25 September 2026 to 9 October 2026 at 16:00. Applications must follow the channels specified in Circular 24.

This is a separate recruitment notice. It is not one of the five vacancy categories listed above, and its application instructions should not be mixed with the Circular 35 vacancies.

READ: What Does “Personnel Suitability Checks” Mean in Government Recruitment?

Senior Security Officer vacancy withdrawn

The annexure also records the withdrawal of the Senior Security Officer post with reference number 3/3/1/83/2026.

The post was previously advertised in DPSA Circular 32, with a closing date of 18 September 2026.

The Department has withdrawn the vacancy. Applicants should not treat it as an open position under this recruitment notice.

Common Application Mistakes to Avoid

A suitable qualification does not automatically mean an application meets every requirement. Applicants should check the details before submission.

Using the wrong reference number

Each vacancy has a separate reference number.

Use the reference number belonging to the position you are applying for. A wrong reference number makes it harder to identify the intended vacancy.

Sending an application to the wrong email address

The five vacancies have different application email addresses.

Check the recipient before sending. Do not assume all Department of Agriculture applications go to one recruitment inbox.

Submitting a CV that does not show the required experience

If the advertisement requires one year of Unix/Linux experience, state where and when you gained that experience.

If the vacancy requires three years in higher education, show the relevant dates and responsibilities.

A general statement such as “experienced professional” does not demonstrate how you meet a specific experience requirement.

Exceeding the 10 MB PDF limit

The CV must be a PDF and must not exceed 10 MB.

Check the file size before attaching it. Also confirm that the PDF opens and that the text is readable.

Waiting until the closing time

The closing time is 16 October 2026 at 16:00.

The Department warns that late applications resulting from technical problems will not be accepted. Send your application early and retain your submission record.

Submitting duplicate applications

The annexure states that duplicate applications will not be accepted.

It also instructs applicants to submit a separate application for each post they wish to apply for.

Read these instructions carefully. Do not repeatedly send the same application for the same post.

Assuming every applicant will receive a response

The Department states that it will communicate only with shortlisted candidates.

It will not acknowledge receipt because of the high volume of applications. If you receive no response within three months, regard your application as unsuccessful.

A Practical Example: How an Applicant Should Assess a Vacancy

Consider a hypothetical applicant named Thabo.

Thabo has a National Diploma in Information Technology and four years of general IT experience. He has worked with desktop support, Microsoft 365 and basic network troubleshooting.

He sees the ICT System Administrator vacancy and decides to apply.

Before sending his application, he compares his experience with the advertisement.

The vacancy requires three years of IT experience, including at least one year in a Unix/Linux server environment.

Thabo has four years of IT experience, but his CV shows only six months of Unix/Linux server work.

Although his total IT experience exceeds three years, his documented Unix/Linux experience falls short of the stated one-year requirement.

The practical lesson is to assess every part of the minimum requirements separately. Meeting the total years of experience does not automatically satisfy a specific experience condition.

Now consider another hypothetical applicant, Lerato, who has three years of higher education experience and a BSc Agriculture qualification in Animal Science.

Before applying for the Senior Agricultural Scientist position, Lerato checks whether her CV clearly identifies her teaching, assessment, research and student-support responsibilities.

She also checks that her qualification matches the wording in the advertisement.

The lesson is simple: do not make the recruitment panel search through a long CV to find evidence of your suitability. Present relevant information clearly and accurately.

These examples are illustrative scenarios, not accounts of actual Department of Agriculture applicants or recruitment decisions.
