On 27 February 2026 the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) released Circular 07 of 2026 – a weekly list of every job opening in national and provincial government departments. If you’re looking for a stable career, this is your quickest gateway to a public‑service role. Thapelo Madibeng Bursary also shares similar opportunities, so check it out for additional support.
What is DPSA Circular 07 of 2026?
It’s a PDF that details all government vacancies for the week, covering departments such as Education, Defence, Justice, Agriculture, Tourism, Social Development, and more. You’ll find positions at national, provincial, and local levels, each with its own salary scale and location.
Who Should Apply?
• Applicants who meet the specific requirements listed for each vacancy (e.g. qualifications, experience, age limits).
• Those who are comfortable applying online or by post.
• First‑time job seekers – many of you may feel overwhelmed, but the steps are straightforward.
From experience, most successful candidates read the “Reference Number” carefully and submit exactly what the job advert asks for.

• Competitive salaries and benefits, including pensions, medical aid, and leave.
