Centre: Public Service departments

Circular 16 of 2026 is a Public Service vacancy circular issued by the Department of Public Service and Administration. It explains that, except during December, the circular is published weekly and contains advertisements of vacant posts in Public Service departments, while the issuing department is not responsible for the advertisement content. It provides application directions: candidates must submit applications on form Z83 (with full particulars) to the department where the vacancy exists, include the vacancy reference number, and ensure applications reach the relevant departments by the closing dates. It also directs departments to bring the circular to employees’ attention, assist potential candidates from the excess group, and apply affirmative action/employment equity provisions where vacancies are identified to promote representativeness.
