How this section works
- A scheduled job checks the DPSA circular and official department pages every six hours.
- When a vacancy appears or changes, the job opens a pull request with a readable diff.
- An editor checks the closing date, reference number, salary notch and qualification requirement against the official advertisement.
- The editor writes our own short summary and links to the official advertisement. We never copy the advertisement text.
- Once merged, the site rebuilds. Listings past their closing date move to the archive rather than disappearing.

Protect yourself from job scams
- Applying for a government job is always free. Nobody may charge you to submit a Z83 or to "secure" a post.
- No legitimate recruiter asks for your ID number, banking details, a copy of your matric certificate or a payment before an interview.
- Government vacancies are advertised in the DPSA circular and on department websites. A vacancy that exists only on social media is almost certainly fake.
- If you are asked for money, report it to the SAPS and to the department named in the advertisement.
