The Department of Water and Sanitation has sent a stern warning to bogus employment recruiters who prey on vulnerable and unemployed people, claiming to be recruiting for a training programme on behalf of the Department.
This is after the Department was inundated with calls and email queries in the past 24 hours about an alleged mass training programme which targets unemployed young people and pays a salary of R 5 800 per month.
“We would like to put it on record that there is no such a programme in the Department. All official employment adverts are placed on the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) job circular and can also be found on our official website. We have not put out any training programme anywhere,” said Wisane Mavasa, spokesperson for the Department of Water and Sanitation.
The bogus recruiters are conducting an illegitimate and criminal recruitment process, masquerading as officials from the Department.
Members of the public are urged to be vigilant, avoid giving out their personal information and documents to anyone or any institution without the relevant official identification.
