Jobseekers are urged to be wary of individuals purporting to be recruiters for companies. This comes as the City of Cape Town’s Corporate Services Directorate said it has been made aware of jobseekers who have been approached by an individual posing as a City official requesting personal information from them and inviting them to interviews at the Civic Centre in Cape Town.
‘’This individual does not work for the City of Cape Town
and led these jobseekers under false pretenses as there were no scheduled
interviews for the said job opportunities under way,’’ said Theresa Uys,
Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services.

supply their job applications via WhatsApp for vacancies at the City of Cape
Town; will never be required to pay for any job opportunity; Applicants will
never receive a notice for assessments or interviews from the City Manager’s
email address.
She urged jobseekers to verify the individual’s official
details (name and designation) and the details of the vacancy in question, when
receiving messages from anyone claiming to be a City employee,
‘’This is very a sad crime targeting the jobless at a time
when unemployment is high and people are desperate to provide for their
families. We understand that our residents are desperate for jobs. However, we
appeal to them to be extra vigilant. Residents should also remember that the
City would never ask community members to pay for job opportunities or
internships, or any other opportunity at the City,’’ said Theresa Uys, Mayoral
Committee Member for Corporate Services.
