Government jobs in Cape Town cover three distinct employers: the City of Cape Town (the local municipality), the Western Cape Government (WCG, the provincial administration spanning Health, Education, Social Development, Transport and more), and national departments listed on the DPSA circular (SAPS, SARS, SARB, Justice, Defence). Each employer recruits through a different portal. The City of Cape Town uses its own JobConnect / careers portal at capetown.gov.za. The WCG advertises in the weekly WCG vacancy circular, with applications submitted online via westerncape.gov.za or to the relevant department. National departments are listed in the weekly DPSA Public Service Vacancy Circular — every position has a unique reference number you must quote on the Z83 application form. This page surfaces current public-sector listings on our board that match City of Cape Town, WCG, DPSA, SAPS or SARS vacancies.
