Should an application be received using the incorrect application for employment (Z83)/old such an application will not be considered.
A Z83 should be accompanied by a recently updated, comprehensive CV including at least two contactable references as well as copies (copies need not be certified) of all qualification(s) [Matric certificate must also be attached] and ID-document and Driver’s license [where applicable].

Should you be in possession of a foreign qualification, it must be accompanied by an evaluation certificate from the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA) (It is the responsibility of applicants in possession of foreign qualifications to submit evaluated results by the SAQA).
Failure to submit all the requested documents will result in the application not being considered. Correspondence will be limited to short-listed candidates. If you have not been contacted within three (3) months after the closing date of this advertisement, please accept that your application was unsuccessful. Suitable candidates will be subjected to a personnel suitability check (criminal record check, citizenship verification, financial/asset record check, qualification/study verification and previous employment verification).
Successful candidates will also be subjected to a security clearance process. Where applicable, candidates will be subjected to a skills/knowledge test. Successful candidates will be appointed on a probation period of twelve (12) months. The Department reserves the right not to make appointment(s) to the advertised post(s). Persons with disabilities and women are encouraged to apply. All shortlisted candidates, including the SMS, shall undertake two pre-entry assessments.

For SMS (Senior Management Service) Posts: In terms of DPSA Directive on compulsory capacity development, mandatory training, and minimum entry requirements for members of the Senior Management Level for SMS appointments, it is a requirement for recommended candidates, to have obtained pre-entry Certificate (Nyukela) as offered by the National School of Government (NSG) for entry into the SMS posts and the full details can be sourced by following the link: https://www.thensg.gov.za/training-course/sms-pre-entry-programme (the SMS pre-entry certificate is not a requirement for shortlisting; is submitted prior to appointment).
