How to Apply for Circular 17 Vacancies
All government job applications require a completed Z83 form (the January 2022 version — older versions are automatically disqualified). Together with your Z83 you must submit a detailed CV and certified copies of your qualifications and identity document.
The most common reason applications are rejected is an incorrect reference number on the Z83. Every post has a unique reference number — one wrong character means automatic disqualification.
At groco.co.za you can:
- Search all 314 Circular 17 vacancies by province and salary level
- Pre-fill your Z83 automatically with the correct reference number for any post
- See the exact closing date countdown for each vacancy
- Set up weekly email alerts so you never miss a new circular

Beware of Government Job Scams
DPSA never charges any fee to apply for government jobs. If a website, WhatsApp message, or Facebook page asks you to pay to access government vacancies or to submit your application, it is a scam.
Groco sources all vacancies directly from official DPSA circulars published at dpsa.gov.za. Every listing links back to the official circular PDF so you can verify the details yourself.
