The Z83 form must be completed in terms of DPSA circular 03 of 2025. The completed and signed Z83 must be accompanied by a detailed CV. Dates of starting and leaving employment must be given as DD/MM/YYYY. Kindly take note that only shortlisted candidates will be required to provide certified copies of required documents on or before the date of the interviews following communication from Human Resources. Failure to comply with these instructions will lead to applications being disqualified. Should an applicant wish to apply for more than one post, separate applications must be submitted for each post applied for. Non-RSA Citizens/Permanent Resident Permit holders must provide a copy of their Permanent Residence Permits if shortlisted for an interview. It is the applicant’s responsibility to have foreign qualifications evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and to provide proof of such if shortlisted for an interview. Under no circumstances will faxed or emailed applications be accepted. Receipt of applications will not be acknowledged due to the volume of applications, and should you not receive an invitation to attend an interview within three (3) months of the closing date applicants should assume that their application was unsuccessful. Please note that where experience is a requirement for the post, the successful candidate will be required to submit documentary proof of such work experience prior to assuming duty. A personnel suitability check (criminal record, citizenship, credit record checks, qualification verification and employment verification) will be conducted prior to employment. Prior to appointment being made to an SMS post, the appointee must have completed the pre-entry certificate and must be in possession of such prior to taking up the post. The Senior Management Pre-Entry Programme, which is a public service specific training programme applicable to all applicants who aspire to join the SMS, is to ensure that potential SMS members have a background on processes and procedures linked to the SMS (certificate is submitted prior to appointment). The duration of the online Pre-Entry Programme is 120 notional hours. Full details may be sourced by the following link: https://www.thensg.gov.za/training-course/sms-pre-entry-programme/. All shortlisted candidates, including the SMS, shall undertake two pre-entry assessments. One will be a practical exercise to determine a candidate’s suitability based on the post’s technical and generic requirements and the other must be an integrity (ethical conduct) assessment. Following the interview and technical exercise, the selection panel will recommend candidates to attend a generic managerial competency assessment (in compliance with the DPSA Directive on the implementation of competency-based assessments). The competency assessment will be testing generic managerial competencies using the mandated DPSA SMS competency assessment tools. It will be expected of candidates to be available for selection interviews on a date, time and place as determined by the Department. The Department of Transport reserves the right not to fill the advertised post(s) at any stage of the recruitment process.
