About DPSACircular.co.za

DPSACircular.co.za is an independent South African job information website covering DPSA Vacancy Circulars and government employment information.

We are not the official DPSA website. We do not accept, process, shortlist or decide government job applications.

We publish these guides because a government vacancy advertisement often contains more information than an applicant can quickly interpret. A useful guide should therefore do more than repeat job titles and salaries. It should help the reader understand the requirements, compare their background with the advertised criteria, identify application risks and return to the official source before submitting an application.

This article follows that approach.

Do not treat this article as a replacement for the official advertisement. Use it to understand the vacancy, then check the relevant page in the official PDF before submitting your application.

What This Guide Covers

This article focuses on how to understand and respond to the DLRRD vacancies in DPSA Circular 33 of 2026.

It is not designed as a replacement for the official vacancy advertisement.

The distinction matters because a vacancy page that merely copies government text gives an applicant little additional help. A useful application guide should answer practical questions such as:

  • What does the qualification requirement mean?
  • Does my experience match the advertised experience?
  • Which details should I check before applying?
  • Why does a driver’s licence matter for some positions?
  • How should I approach a re-advertised position?
  • What mistakes are likely to weaken an application?
  • What should I verify before pressing “send”?
  • What happens after submission?

Those are the questions this guide is designed to answer.

Introduction

The Department of Land Reform and Rural Development is one of the departments included in DPSA Circular 33 of 2026.

Its section in Annexure G contains 14 post categories representing 17 advertised positions across several provinces.

The vacancies range from a Level 05 Secretary position to a Level 11 Deputy Director: Information Technology Audits position.

There are also specialist roles in:

  • Information technology auditing
  • Financial planning
  • Strategic planning
  • Strategy analysis
  • Geomatics
  • Financial accounting
  • Information security
  • Cadastral administration
  • Finance administration
  • Secretarial support

The closing date is 28 September 2026 at 16:00.

One of the most useful lessons from reviewing this advertisement is that applicants should not approach every vacancy in the same way.

A Secretary position, a Cadastral Officer position and a Deputy Director IT Audit position require completely different eligibility checks.

The correct question is therefore not:

“Which DLRRD job looks interesting?”

A better question is:

“Which advertised position matches my qualification, experience and supporting evidence most closely?”

That shift in approach can save applicants time and reduce avoidable application errors.

What We Found in Annexure G

The DLRRD section contains several important application instructions before the individual vacancies begin.

Applicants must submit a completed Z83 form and detailed CV.

The application must be submitted in PDF format and the department states a maximum document size of 10 MB.

Applicants must also pay attention to the individual email addresses and hand-delivery addresses attached to each post.

The advertisement warns applicants about:

  • Late applications
  • Technical submission problems
  • Duplicate applications
  • Applications for multiple posts
  • False or fraudulent qualifications
  • Foreign qualifications
  • Certification requirements for shortlisted candidates
  • Pre-entry assessments
  • Integrity assessments
  • Security and suitability checks

These instructions are part of the vacancy process.

They should not be treated as information sitting below the “real” job requirements.

DLRRD Vacancies in Circular 33 of 2026

1. Deputy Director: Information Technology Audits

Post: 33/58
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/231
Posts: 2
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R932,292 per annum, Level 11

This position requires:

  • Grade 12
  • National Diploma in Auditing, Information Technology or an equivalent qualification at NQF Level 6
  • At least three years’ experience in IT auditing at Assistant Director level or equivalent
  • Valid driver’s licence

The advertisement also refers to project management, IIA standards, risk-based internal auditing, audit software, interviewing, analytical skills, business process analysis and risk/control assessment.

Why this vacancy needs careful reading

The words “Information Technology Audits” should not be confused with ordinary IT support.

An applicant might have several years of experience working with computers, networks or software and still not meet the central experience requirement.

The relevant question is whether the applicant’s background demonstrates IT auditing at the required level.

This is a good example of why job titles should never be used as the only eligibility test.

Application email: Post231@dlrrd.gov.za

2. Assistant Director: Financial Planning

Post: 33/59
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/223
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R487,197 per annum, Level 09

The position requires:

  • Grade 12
  • National Diploma in Financial Management, Cost and Management Accounting or equivalent NQF Level 6 qualification
  • Three years’ supervisory experience in budget planning
  • Valid driver’s licence

The duties relate to budget compilation, MTEF processes, AENE, ENE, rollovers, BAS, SCOA and budget monitoring.

Practical insight

A finance graduate should not automatically assume this vacancy is suitable.

The experience requirement is important.

The advertisement is looking for supervisory experience in budget planning, not simply a person who has studied finance.

If your experience includes budgeting, expenditure monitoring, financial planning or government budget processes, your CV should make those responsibilities easy to identify.

Application email: Post223@dlrrd.gov.za

3. Strategic Planning Officer

Post: 33/60
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/229
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R487,197 per annum, Level 09

The requirements include:

  • Grade 12
  • Relevant National Diploma or equivalent qualification
  • Three years’ experience in strategy planning or monitoring and evaluation in a government environment
  • Valid driver’s licence

The work includes strategic planning, APP, AOP, MTDP, planning workshops, performance information and provincial support.

Practical insight

The words “in a government environment” are important.

Three years of private-sector management experience should not automatically be presented as equivalent to the experience requested in this advertisement.

Applicants should compare their actual work environment and responsibilities with the wording used by the department.

Application email: Post229@dlrrd.gov.za

4. Strategy Analyst

Post: 33/61
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/230
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R487,197 per annum, Level 09

The position requires a relevant National Diploma or equivalent qualification and three years’ experience in strategy planning or monitoring and evaluation in a government environment.

The role involves planning, analysis, strategic documents and support for departmental planning processes.

Practical insight

Do not interpret “Analyst” as a generic business analyst position.

The surrounding requirements show a public-sector strategic planning context.

An applicant should therefore assess whether their experience relates to government planning, performance management, monitoring and evaluation or similar responsibilities.

Application email: Post230@dlrrd.gov.za

5. Principal Geomatics Officer

Post: 33/62
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/227
Location: Mowbray, Western Cape
Salary: R413,001 per annum, Level 08

The position requires:

  • Grade 12
  • National Certificate in Geomatics or Survey Officer Certificate at NQF Level 5
  • Six years’ post-qualification experience in geomatics or geospatial information science

The work covers:

  • Geospatial information
  • Mapping
  • GIS
  • Cartography
  • Aerial imagery
  • Topographic information
  • Data quality
  • Geospatial records

Practical insight

The six-year post-qualification requirement deserves particular attention.

Applicants should distinguish experience gained before and after obtaining the relevant qualification.

A CV should also make specialist geomatics experience easy to identify.

Application email: Post227@dlrrd.gov.za

6. Senior State Accountant, KwaZulu-Natal

Post: 33/63
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/228
Location: Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal
Salary: R413,001 per annum, Level 08

The position requires a relevant National Diploma or equivalent qualification and at least two years’ experience in financial management.

The advertisement refers to PFMA, Treasury Regulations, PERSAL, BAS and LOGIS.

Application email: Post228@dlrrd.gov.za

7. Senior State Accountant, Gauteng

Post: 33/64
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/232
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R413,001 per annum, Level 08

The position requires Grade 12, a relevant National Diploma or equivalent qualification and at least two years’ finance experience.

The duties include restitution payments, reconciliations, financial statements, BAS, PERSAL, audit queries and financial registers.

Application email: Post232@dlrrd.gov.za

Important comparison

The two Senior State Accountant vacancies have similar titles and the same salary level, but applicants should still treat them as separate vacancies.

The locations, references and duties differ.

This is why a candidate applying for both should submit separate applications as instructed by the department.

8. Information Security Officer

Post: 33/65
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/233
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R338,106 per annum, Level 07

The requirements include a relevant National Diploma and one year of relevant experience.

The role includes information and document security, controlled access, security audits, awareness and compliance work.

The advertisement also states that the position requires extensive travel.

Application email: Post233@dlrrd.gov.za

Practical insight

“Relevant experience” should be treated seriously.

An applicant should not rely on the assumption that any office experience qualifies as information security experience.

The CV should show the connection between previous responsibilities and the functions advertised.

9. Finance Clerk (Supervisor)

Post: 33/66
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/234
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R338,106 per annum, Level 07

The requirements include a certificate or equivalent qualification and three years’ experience in a financial environment.

The advertisement refers to:

  • PFMA
  • DORA
  • PSA
  • PSR
  • PPPFA
  • Financial Manual
  • PERSAL
  • BAS
  • LOGIS

The duties include financial transactions, invoices, salary administration, bookkeeping, banking, budget support and supervision.

Application email: Post234@dlrrd.gov.za

Cadastral Officer Vacancies

Three Cadastral Officer entries appear in the DLRRD section.

10. Cadastral Officer, North West

Post: 33/67
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/224
Posts: 2
Location: Mmabatho, North West
Salary: R280,278 per annum, Level 06

11. Cadastral Officer, Limpopo

Post: 33/68
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/225
Posts: 2
Location: Polokwane, Limpopo
Salary: R280,278 per annum, Level 06

12. Cadastral Officer, Mpumalanga

Post: 33/69
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/226
Posts: 3
Location: Mbombela, Mpumalanga
Salary: R280,278 per annum, Level 06

The three positions require relevant geomatics or surveying qualifications at the stated level and prescribed training.

The work includes cadastral documents, survey records, spatial information, technical examinations and land parcels.

Practical insight

The three vacancies demonstrate another important application principle.

Similar vacancies still require separate attention.

The position title and salary are similar, but each post has its own reference number, location and application details.

Applicants interested in more than one location should follow the department’s separate-application instruction rather than combining everything into one submission.

13. Secretary

Post: 33/70
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/221
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R237,453 per annum, Level 05

The position requires Grade 12 or equivalent.

The advertisement highlights:

  • Computer literacy
  • Telephone etiquette
  • Organisation
  • Communication
  • Tact
  • Discretion

The duties include diary management, correspondence, meetings, travel arrangements, filing, invoices, minutes and administrative support.

Application email: Post221@dlrrd.gov.za

14. Secretary

Post: 33/71
Reference: 3/1/1/1/2026/222
Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Salary: R237,453 per annum, Level 05

This vacancy has similar qualification and skill requirements.

The position is associated with Strategic Institutional Partnerships.

Application email: Post222@dlrrd.gov.za

Again, applicants should not treat the two Secretary positions as one vacancy. Each has its own reference number and application instruction.

What the Requirements Mean

The most important part of a vacancy advertisement is not always the job title.

It is the relationship between the qualification, experience, duties and additional requirements.

Qualification is only the first test

Having the right qualification does not automatically mean an applicant meets every requirement.

A candidate should ask:

  1. Do I have the required qualification?
  2. Is it in the field requested?
  3. Does it meet the stated NQF level where one is specified?
  4. Do I have the required experience?
  5. Is my experience in the required environment?
  6. Do I meet additional conditions such as a driver’s licence?
  7. Does my CV demonstrate the match?

This method is more reliable than applying because the job title sounds familiar.

A Practical Way to Test Your Eligibility

Here is the approach we recommend when reviewing a government vacancy.

Imagine you have opened the DLRRD advertisement and found a vacancy matching your career background.

Do not send the CV immediately.

Step 1: Highlight the qualification

Write down the exact qualification required.

Step 2: Highlight the experience

Identify:

  • Number of years
  • Type of experience
  • Required environment
  • Required management level
  • Specialist field

Step 3: Identify additional conditions

Look for:

  • Driver’s licence
  • Prescribed training
  • Travel requirements
  • Professional registration where applicable
  • Security or suitability requirements

Step 4: Compare your CV

Now compare your evidence with each requirement.

Do not ask:

“Have I worked before?”

Ask:

“Can my CV demonstrate the experience requested for this specific position?”

Step 5: Check the application instructions

Only after the eligibility review should you move to:

  • Z83
  • CV
  • Email
  • File size
  • Reference number
  • Closing date
  • Submission address

This order reduces wasted effort.

Who Should Apply?

Applicants who meet the minimum requirements for an individual post should consider applying.

The strongest matches include applicants whose:

  • Qualification matches the advertised field
  • Experience meets the required duration
  • Previous duties relate to the advertised functions
  • Government-sector experience meets the wording where required
  • Technical knowledge matches the role
  • Additional requirements are satisfied
  • CV clearly demonstrates the relevant experience

The number of advertised vacancies should not be the main attraction.

Eligibility and relevance should come first.

Who Should Not Apply?

Applicants should reconsider an application where they clearly fail a stated minimum requirement.

Examples include:

  • Missing the required qualification
  • Insufficient experience
  • Wrong field of experience
  • Missing required government experience
  • Missing required prescribed training
  • Failing a stated driver’s licence requirement
  • Applying for a specialist position without the relevant specialist background

This does not mean applicants should underestimate themselves.

It means applicants should distinguish between transferable skills and minimum requirements.

How to Apply

The DLRRD advertisement requires a completed Z83 form and detailed CV.

Applicants should:

  1. Select the specific post.
  2. Record the post number and reference number.
  3. Read the complete requirements.
  4. Complete the Z83.
  5. Prepare a detailed CV.
  6. Combine the required documents according to the advertisement.
  7. Keep the PDF within the 10 MB limit.
  8. Use the correct email address or hand-delivery address.
  9. Submit before the deadline.
  10. Keep evidence of submission.

The closing time is 16:00 on 28 September 2026.

Do not interpret “28 September” as meaning the application remains open until midnight.

The advertisement gives a specific closing time.

Email Application: What to Check

Before sending an email application, check the recipient address against the specific vacancy.

The DLRRD vacancies use different post-specific email addresses.

For example:

Always compare the email address against the official advertisement before sending.

A single incorrect character in an email address can create a submission problem.

Hand Delivery

Some applicants prefer physical submission.

The department provides specific hand-delivery addresses for the different posts.

Do not assume every DLRRD vacancy uses the same address.

The address should be checked against the individual post in the official PDF.

Applicants using hand delivery should also allow enough time for the application to reach the department before the closing time.

Application Checklist

Before submission:

  • Correct DLRRD vacancy selected
  • Post number checked
  • Reference number checked
  • Qualification checked
  • Experience checked
  • Driver’s licence checked where required
  • Prescribed training checked where required
  • Z83 completed
  • Detailed CV prepared
  • Relevant experience clearly described
  • PDF prepared
  • PDF is within the 10 MB limit
  • Correct email address checked
  • Correct hand-delivery address checked where applicable
  • Separate application prepared for each post
  • No duplicate application submitted
  • Application submitted before 16:00 on 28 September 2026
  • Submission evidence retained

Common Application Mistakes

Mistake 1: Applying from the job title

A familiar title does not prove eligibility.

Always read the requirements.

Mistake 2: Treating all experience as equal

Three years of general work experience is not necessarily three years of the specific experience requested.

Mistake 3: Ignoring the word “government”

Where the advertisement requires experience in a government environment, applicants should examine whether their background actually satisfies this condition.

Mistake 4: Using one application for several posts

The department instructs applicants to submit separate applications for multiple posts.

Mistake 5: Sending to the wrong email address

Each vacancy has its own application email in the advertisement.

Mistake 6: Waiting until the deadline

Technical problems do not extend the department’s deadline.

Mistake 7: Exceeding the file-size limit

The advertisement specifies a 10 MB maximum.

Mistake 8: Using an old vacancy advertisement

The Deputy Director IT Audit position is re-advertised.

Applicants should work from the current advertisement instead of assuming an older copy remains accurate.

Mistake 9: Copying the vacancy into the CV

A CV should explain the applicant’s own experience.

It should not simply repeat the employer’s job description.

Mistake 10: Making unsupported claims

Applicants should not add qualifications, experience or responsibilities they do not possess.

Government recruitment includes suitability and verification processes.

Understanding the Re-Advertised Vacancy

Post 33/58, Deputy Director: Information Technology Audits, is identified as a re-advertisement.

The advertisement encourages previous applicants to reapply.

This is an important detail for anyone who applied before.

A previous application should not be treated as automatically active for the new advertisement.

The safer approach is to review the current requirements and submit a fresh application according to the current instructions.

This also illustrates an important principle for vacancy websites: old information should not be allowed to remain indistinguishable from current information.

A vacancy article should show when it was checked and when it was updated.

That is why this page includes:

  • Published date
  • Last checked date
  • Last updated date
  • Closing date
  • Advertisement status
  • Amendment status
  • Withdrawal status

What Happens After Submission?

Submitting an application does not mean the applicant has been shortlisted.

The DLRRD advertisement describes several stages and checks.

Shortlisted candidates may need to provide certified copies of qualifications and other documents where required.

Candidates with foreign qualifications must provide the relevant SAQA evaluation documentation.

The advertisement also states that shortlisted candidates will complete two pre-entry assessments:

  1. A practical exercise.
  2. An integrity assessment.

The department also reserves the right to conduct personnel suitability checks, security checks and reference checks.

The advertisement refers to social media checks as part of the wider suitability and reference process.

Successful candidates may also be subject to security clearance and other public-service conditions.

This is why applicants should ensure the information supplied in their application is accurate.

Practical Applicant Example

Consider an applicant who sees the Strategic Planning Officer vacancy.

The applicant has a National Diploma in Public Administration and four years of work experience.

At first glance, the vacancy looks suitable.

But a closer review is needed.

The advertisement asks for three years’ experience in strategy planning or monitoring and evaluation in a government environment.

The applicant’s four years might include:

  • One year in administration
  • Two years in private-sector project coordination
  • One year in government monitoring and evaluation

The applicant should not simply write “four years’ experience” and assume the requirement is satisfied.

Instead, the applicant should identify the relevant government experience and explain the actual responsibilities.

This is the type of distinction applicants should make before submitting an application.

The lesson applies across the entire circular:

Do not count experience only by years. Match it by function, environment and relevance.

How to Make Your CV More Useful for This Circular

A detailed CV does not mean a CV filled with unnecessary information.

It should make relevant evidence easy to locate.

For example, if applying for Financial Planning, the CV should clearly describe relevant budget responsibilities.

If applying for IT Audits, it should identify actual audit responsibilities.

If applying for Geomatics, it should make post-qualification specialist experience clear.

If applying for a Secretary position, it should demonstrate administrative responsibilities such as diary management, correspondence, meetings, records or office coordination where applicable.

The objective is not to copy the vacancy advertisement.

The objective is to show the evidence behind your own experience.

Why the Official PDF Still Matters

A third-party application guide is useful for explanation.

It should not become the final authority.

The official PDF contains the original:

  • Post details
  • Reference numbers
  • Requirements
  • Duties
  • Email addresses
  • Hand-delivery addresses
  • Closing information
  • Departmental instructions

This is also why DPSACircular.co.za does not reproduce the complete government advertisement in this article.

Instead, the guide adds interpretation and practical information while directing applicants back to the original source.

Editorial Review

DPSACircular.co.za reviewed the DLRRD vacancies against the supplied official government advertisement for DPSA Circular 33 of 2026, Annexure G.

The review covered:

  • Department name
  • Circular number
  • Annexure
  • Post numbers
  • Reference numbers
  • Number of positions
  • Locations
  • Salary information
  • Qualification requirements
  • Experience requirements
  • Driver’s licence requirements
  • Application emails
  • Hand-delivery instructions
  • Closing date
  • Re-advertisement information
  • Application conditions

The review also compared the individual vacancy requirements rather than treating all DLRRD positions as one general vacancy.

This distinction is important because similar job titles do not always have identical requirements or application instructions.

Editorial limitation

This guide does not independently decide whether an applicant is eligible for appointment.

Only the department can make recruitment decisions.

Where the official advertisement and this guide differ, applicants should follow the official advertisement.

How This Guide Was Produced

The information on this page was developed using the official DPSA Circular 33 of 2026 as the primary vacancy source.

The process was:

  1. Identify the DLRRD section in Annexure G.
  2. Review the general application instructions.
  3. Record each post number and reference number.
  4. Compare the qualification and experience requirements.
  5. Check salary and location information.
  6. Check post-specific email and hand-delivery instructions.
  7. Identify the re-advertised position.
  8. Separate official information from practical interpretation.
  9. Build applicant-focused explanations around common decision points.
  10. Recheck the closing date and application conditions.

This approach is more useful than simply copying the PDF because the purpose of this website is to help applicants understand vacancy information.

Official Source

The primary source is:

South African Department of Public Service and Administration, Public Service Vacancy Circular 33 of 2026, Annexure G, Department of Land Reform and Rural Development.

The official circular was issued on 11 September 2026.
