Questions about government vacancies
- How do I apply for a public-service post listed here?
- You apply directly to the government department advertising the post, using the application method and closing date printed in the official advert. Govermate does not receive, forward or process applications.
- How fresh are these vacancies?
- These pages list posts whose recorded closing date has not passed. Every post shows the date its source was collected or last checked, so you can see for yourself how recent the underlying record is, and closed posts are labelled as closed rather than hidden.
- Where do these vacancies come from?
- From published government sources, including the Department of Public Service and Administration's Public Service Vacancy Circular. Govermate reads each circular and splits it into the individual posts it contains.
- Is Govermate part of government?
- No. Govermate is an independent information service operated by Pace Online (Pty) Ltd. It is not a government department, agency or recruitment agent, and it has no role in any department's selection process.
- Why does a post here look different from the circular?
- Govermate stores what the source document states for each post - the department, the centre, the salary line, the reference and the closing date - and shows it as a single searchable listing. Where the two differ, the official document is authoritative.
