The application must include only a completed and signed new Z83 Form, obtainable from any Public Service Department or on the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) website link: https://www.dpsa.gov.za/newsroom/psvc/ and a detailed Curriculum Vitae which may be posted, hand delivered, or e-mailed using the addresses provided for in each advertisement.
Note: Only the Z83 and detailed Curriculum Vitae should be attached and must be limited to 10 megabytes and submitted as a PDF document. The DLRRD will not be held responsible for server delays. Certified copies of Identity Document, Grade 12 Certificate, and the highest required qualifications as well as a driver’s licence where necessary and service certificates to support senior management experience, will only be submitted by shortlisted candidates to Human Resources on or before the day of the interview date.
Failure to do so will result in your application being disqualified. Foreign qualifications must be accompanied by an evaluation report issued by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). It is the applicant’s responsibility to have all foreign qualifications evaluated by SAQA and to provide proof of such evaluation report (only when shortlisted). The requirements for appointment at the Senior Management Service (SMS) level include the successful completion of the Senior Management Pre-entry Programme as endorsed by the National School of Government (NSG). Prior to appointment, a candidate would be required to complete the Nyukela Programme: Pre-entry Certificate to SMS as endorsed by DPSA, which is an online course, endorsed by the NSG.
The course is available at the NSG under the name Certificate for entry into the SMS, and full details can be sourced by the following link: https://www.thensg.gov.za/training-course/sms-pre-entry-programme/. No appointment will take place without the successful completion of the pre-entry certificate and submission of proof thereof. All shortlisted candidates, including SMS, are required to undertake two pre-entry assessments. One will be a practical assessment, and the other will be an integrity (Ethical Conduct) assessment.
Selection committees will score both pre-entry assessments as an additional criterion in the interview process to determine the candidate’s suitability based on post-technical and generic requirements. Following the interview, practical exercise, and integrity assessment for SMS positions, the selection committee will recommend candidates to attend a generic managerial competency assessment in compliance with the DPSA Directive on the Implementation of Competency Based Assessments. The competency assessment will test generic managerial competencies using the mandated DPSA SMS competency assessment tools.
