What the Job Is About
The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) has just published Circular 40 of 2025. This is a weekly bulletin that lists all the open government jobs in South Africa – from the big national ministries to the local provincial offices. If you’re looking to start a career in the public sector, this circular is your map of where you can apply, whether you want a permanent role or a short‑term contract.
Where Are the Jobs?
National Departments
The circular lists many national ministries that need new staff. Think of places like Health, Defence, Education, or Home Affairs. Each ministry has its own page inside the document. Click the name of the ministry you’re interested in and you’ll see all the positions that are currently open, the skills required, and how to apply.
Provincial Positions
If you want to stay close to home, look at the provincial sections. Every province – like KwaZulu‑Natal, Western Cape, or Gauteng – posts a range of jobs. These can be in accounting, legal work, IT, or any other role that keeps the province running smoothly.
