The Department of Home Affairs said information circulating social media about training opportunities offered by the department for unemployed matriculates is false. 

 The Department’s Director General Mkuseli Apleni said the false job advert was to mislead young people who are desperately in need of work. 

Department’s David Hlabane said The Department wishes to put it on the record that such reports are false and devoid of truth, with a potential to mislead young people who are desperately in need of work.

"What Home Affairs has initiated through its Learning Academy in the quest to contribute to the national drive for skills development and fighting unemployment is a cadet programme for unemployed graduates." Hlabane added.

He added that The cadet programme for graduates will first run as a pilot with effect from February 2014. In this regard the selection of prospective candidates has been finalized.
