The South African government’s Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) releases a weekly document known as the Public Service Vacancy Circular, which provides a list of vacancies in various public service departments, national departments, and provincial administrations. The circular is published every week, except during December, and contains advertisements for vacant posts and jobs in the public service.
Directions to Candidates
Candidates interested in applying for a position listed in the DPSA Circular 07 of 2023 should take note of the following instructions. Firstly, applicants must complete and submit the Z83 application form, which requires full details of their qualifications, training, experience, and competencies. If necessary, candidates can attach a separate sheet or a Curriculum Vitae (CV) to provide additional information.
It is crucial that applicants indicate the reference number of the vacancy in their application. Any inquiries regarding the advertised post should be directed to the relevant advertising department, not the DPSA. The closing date for applications should be strictly adhered to, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that their application reaches the relevant advertising department before the deadline.
Z83 Application Form
The Z83 application form is the standard form used by the South African government to recruit candidates for public service positions. It is a comprehensive form that requires candidates to provide their personal details, employment history, qualifications, and other relevant information. Applicants must complete the form accurately and legibly, providing all the information requested.
In January 2021, the DPSA released a new version of the Z83 application form. The new form includes additional fields, such as a declaration of previous convictions, and requires applicants to provide their email address and cell phone number. An editable version of the new Z83 application form is also available, which can be completed electronically.
Practice Note on the Application of the Z83
The DPSA has issued a Practice Note on the application of the Z83 and other employment matters. The note provides guidance on the interpretation and application of various policies and legislation related to employment in the public service. It covers topics such as recruitment and selection, appointment, promotion, and termination of employment.
The Practice Note is intended to assist public service departments in the correct application of policies and legislation and to promote consistency in employment practices. It is also a useful resource for job applicants, as it provides information on their rights and obligations in the recruitment process.
