Overview
South Africa’s Public Service Vacancy Circular 30 of 2026 lists current national and provincial government vacancies published on 21 August 2026.
Full job description
The official weekly circular links vacancies from national departments including Agriculture, Defence, Employment and Labour, Health, Higher Education and Training, Justice, Land Reform, the Office of the Chief Justice and Public Works. Provincial sections cover Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West and Western Cape. Each vacancy has its own reference, location, requirements and closing date; applicants must read the relevant department advert rather than assume one deadline applies to the whole circular.
Requirements & qualifications
Requirements vary by post. Applications generally use the official Z83 employment form plus the information and supporting documents required by the advertising department. Applicants must quote the correct vacancy reference and apply to the relevant department by its stated closing date.
