Centre: Public Service departments

Circular 20 of 2026 is a weekly public service vacancy circular (published weekly except during December) that advertises vacant posts and jobs in South African Public Service departments. It instructs candidates to apply using form Z83 with complete particulars and to submit applications to the specific department where the vacancy exists, indicating the vacancy reference number and meeting the closing dates. It also directs departments to bring the circular to employees’ attention, inform employees declared in excess, and apply Employment Equity Act provisions (sections 15 and 20) when vacancies are identified to promote representativeness.
