Governmentportal.org is an independent information website providing news, updates, guides and useful information about government services, public-sector opportunities, education, employment, careers, bursaries, learnerships, internships and other opportunities relevant to people in South Africa.
Our goal is to make important public-interest information easier to understand and easier to find online.
Governmentportal.org is not a government department, government agency or official government website. We are an independent publishing platform and are not affiliated with, operated by or endorsed by the South African Government unless an article specifically states otherwise.

- Government service information

- Public-sector announcements
- Employment and career information

We aim to provide information in a clear and practical format so that readers can understand what an opportunity or announcement means, who may qualify and where to find further information.
Our Approach to Information
Governmentportal.org aims to provide information that is useful, accurate and understandable.
Where information relates to a specific organisation, programme or government department, we make reasonable efforts to identify the source and distinguish between information confirmed by an official source and information that is being reported or explained by our editorial team.
We do not present ourselves as the official application platform for government programmes unless Governmentportal.org is specifically identified as the authorised application platform.
Readers should always verify important requirements, application deadlines, eligibility criteria and other time-sensitive information with the relevant organisation before taking action.
Our Commitment to Readers
We aim to:
- Publish useful and original information.
- Clearly explain important details.
- Avoid deliberately misleading headlines.
- Correct significant factual errors when identified.
- Clearly distinguish editorial information from advertising.
- Protect readers’ privacy.
- Provide accessible contact information.
- Update articles when important information changes.
- Avoid publishing information that we cannot reasonably verify.
