@news24: Last month, a graphic circulated on South African social media advertising an opportunity in the Department of Health. It was an advert inviting people to enrol in a training programme to become an ambulance assistant. Under what appeared to be the South African coat of arms, beneath a government letterhead, and alongside a glamorous shot of ambulance workers, it promised a stipend of up to R6 600 per month and free transport. Perhaps thanks to its official-looking design, or simply job seekers’ desperation in South Africa, it received significant attention on Facebook. Alongside the post are dozens of comments from people expressing interest, with some leaving their phone numbers publicly in hopes of a call back.

If they are advertising salaries, that’s your first sign to walk away.

I keep saying..there's no government post that has no reference number...also why would you apply to a government job on "www.jobssa.com" and WhatsApp numbers instead of on the government websites

it doesn't help that legit companies post ghost listings constantly. they post positions they never intend on hiring people for just to appear as if they're complying with standards. there needs to be more monitoring of that as well.

I always tell people if you see a job post on social media go to that company's official website and check, if that vacancy is there it means its real if not then its most likely fake!!! No government job or corporate job will give you a whatsapp link to apply through!!! let's be wise🫶
