This is not a government website. CheckJobScam is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the Department of Public Service and Administration or any government department, and we cannot receive or process an application. These vacancies are republished from the Public Service Vacancy Circular, which the DPSA publishes every Friday at dpsa.gov.za. You apply to the department directly, using the address on the vacancy.
Common questions
How do I apply for government vacancies in Cape Town?
Every post above shows the department that advertised it, its reference number and where to send your application. You complete a Z83 form, attach a CV, and send both to the address on that specific post before its closing date. Applications go directly to the department, never through this site, and there is no fee at any stage.
Can I apply for government vacancies online?
For most posts, no. The circular tells you where each post wants its application, and that is usually a postal address or an email address at the department itself. Some departments do run their own e-recruitment portals, and where a post uses one the address on that post says so. There is no single national portal, no account to create, and nothing to pay. Whichever route a post uses, you send the same thing: a completed Z83 and a CV.
Do I need to register with DPSA to apply?
No. There is no DPSA register, database or membership to join, and no application is required to "activate" your profile. You apply to each post individually. Anyone charging you to register for government jobs, or to place you on a list, is taking your money for something that does not exist.
What is the Z83 form and do I need one?
The Z83 is the official Application for Employment form issued by the Department of Public Service and Administration, and every national and provincial post requires it. You can fill in the real gazetted form on this site and download it completed, with the post title, department and reference already carried across from whichever vacancy you opened.
What is the DPSA vacancy circular?
The Public Service Vacancy Circular is a document DPSA publishes every Friday, listing every vacancy across national and provincial government. It runs to several hundred pages as a PDF, which is difficult to search on a phone. Every post on this page comes from that circular, split into individual pages you can search and filter.
Are government vacancies in Cape Town ever advertised on WhatsApp?
Government posts are advertised in the circular and on the department's own website, not through WhatsApp groups or unsolicited messages. A message offering you a government post, asking for a fee, or requesting your ID and bank details before any interview is a scam. You can paste it into the checker on this site if you are unsure.
Government jobs are free to apply for. If a post is not in the DPSA circular, or someone asks you to pay a registration, application or "background check" fee for a government job, it is a scam. Check the message here before you pay anything.
