Centre: Public Service departments

Circular 12 of 2026 is a weekly public service vacancy circular (published weekly except during December) that lists advertisements for 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, referencing the vacancy number, and to ensure applications reach the relevant departments by the closing dates. It also directs departments to bring the circular to employees’ attention, inform employees declared in excess, assist excess-group candidates to apply timeously, and apply Employment Equity Act provisions (sections 15 and 20) where vacancies are identified to promote representativeness.
