DPSA Circular 42 of 2025 outlines the latest public service job vacancies across various national and provincial departments, and it serves as the official guide for applicants seeking government employment. Applicants are reminded that the DPSA does not accept applications directly; all applications must be submitted to the specific department advertising the post. It is important to read the circular carefully and apply only for positions that match your qualifications, experience, and skills. All applications must be submitted using the prescribed Z83 form, accompanied by a detailed CV and relevant supporting documents where required. Applicants should ensure that personal information is completed accurately and that contact details are correct, as departments use these details for communication and interviews. Late, faxed, or incomplete applications will not be considered. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee appointment, as selection is based on departmental needs, screening processes, and merit. All shortlisted candidates will undergo necessary assessments such as interviews, reference checks, and security vetting. Employment equity principles apply, and preference may be given to candidates whose appointment contributes to departmental targets. Applicants are encouraged to monitor the circular regularly, as new vacancies are issued weekly and opportunities vary depending on departmental budget availability and service delivery needs.
