Hi im trying to download z83 fir leanership keeps on failliing
Hi Khululwa. According to the SAPS website and previous vacancy advertisements, the Z83 form is no longer in use for advertised posts. We’re not sure if this is applies to learnership programmes as well. We advise either contacting the SAPS directly to request the correct relevant form or to visit their website’s Career page to download their new application form – http://www.saps.gov.za/careers/careers.php.
