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.
