South Africa’s government jobs service published Circular 40 on 6 November. It includes national and provincial vacancies, each with its own requirements and closing date.
The South African Government’s weekly jobs service lists Public Service Vacancy Circular 40, issued on 6 November 2026. The circular contains vacancies in 17 national departments, including Employment and Labour, Home Affairs, Police, Tourism, Transport and Treasury, and in six provincial administrations: Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Western Cape.
A circular is a collection of separate adverts, not one application. Each post has its own reference number, requirements, documents, closing date and application route. Open the relevant department or province section before preparing a form or sending a CV. The official government page also provides the Z83 employment application form.
Check the live advert again on the day you apply. Keep its link or PDF, the reference number and your submission confirmation. Applying for a public-service job is free. Do not pay anyone who says they can reserve a post, place you on a shortlist or fast-track an application.
The Department of Public Service and Administration published Circular 41 on 13 November. Land Reform and Rural Development advertises 54 internships, and several departments list clerk and support posts that suit early-career applicants.
work.net.za found 545 new openings in the seven days to 9 November 2026, with 1,929 roles open. Old Mutual added 121, Marriott 93, and 89 new roles suit early-career applicants.
Grade 10 and 11 learners living in Cape Town can apply for a year-long leadership programme. It is not a paid job.
