Human Settlements warns of fake social media accounts

Be warned of the fake social media accounts which claim to be that of Minister Lindiwe Sisulu

The Ministry of Human Settlements warns members of the public of fake linkedin and facebook accounts which purport to be that of Minister Lindiwe Sisulu.

We would like to warn members of the public not to be misled by these fake accounts which sometimes promise people tenders, work and economic opportunities within human settlements sector in the name of the Minister.

Members of the public are advised to note the following:

  • There are five linkedin accounts under the username Lindiwe Sisulu.

All of these accounts on linkedin are scams.

  • Facebook has 10 accounts under the username Lindiwe Sisulu. Out of this 10 there is only one legitimate account which has an underscore in between the user name, i.e Lindiwe_Sisulu.

The Ministry of Human Settlements has reported these fake accounts to facebook and linkedin and members of the public are advised to block the aforementioned accounts and also report them to the respective social media platform.

We thank those members of the public who continue to be vigilant and alert Ministry of Human Settlements of suspicious activities.
