The City of Cape Town has warned against a job scam doing the rounds regarding people wanting to become fire-fighters register with R200 for training and job placement opportunities. 

The City has appealed to anyone who might have fallen victim to the scam to report it immediately to the South African Police Service. 

City of Cape Town’s Executive Director for Safety and Security Richard Bosman said the City advertises its jobs properly in the newspaper.

Bosman said drop your application at a fire station or the City office but you do not respond to a recruitment advert like that.

Bosman said the city also does not charge any recruitment fee for anyone who pays this money.

Bosman said anyone who pays these fees should report to SAPS.

Bosman said people must stop being naïve so the moment you asked to pay a fee then should know already that something is wrong.

“We want to ask people to please expose the person doing this not to get involved and report it to the police where there are people are really struggling as they are so desperate to get jobs who lend money to pay these people who they will never see again” Bosman added.
