This circular forms part of the official weekly publication that informs job seekers about employment opportunities within national and provincial government departments.
Circular 02 of 2026 is a vital resource for unemployed graduates, experienced professionals, and individuals seeking stable careers in the public sector. It promotes transparency and equal access to employment by ensuring that all advertised posts are publicly available and clearly detailed.
What the Circular Covers
This edition of the Public Service Vacancy Circular includes vacancies across a wide range of sectors, such as administration, finance, health services, education, justice, infrastructure, public works, and social development. The circular accommodates candidates with different qualification levels, from entry-level administrative roles to specialised and professional positions.
Each advertised vacancy includes essential information such as the job title, post reference number, salary level, minimum requirements, closing date, and application instructions. These details help applicants determine whether they meet the criteria before applying, reducing incomplete or incorrect submissions.
