Warning: Job scam
The Greater Tzaneen Municipality (GTM) warns job seekers of an ongoing scam where scammers send an sms to an applicant congratulating them on being shortlisted for a job recently advertised by the municipality
According to the municipal spokesperson, Neville Ndlala, the message will contain the job title and job number similar to the one advertised by the municipality. The sms is purported to be coming from MH Maake, the municipality’s Human Resources Manager.
Job seekers are warned to consider the following before responding to any message regarding a job in the municipality.
*The municipality will not request any money from an applicant before or after the interview.
*Shortlisted applicants are informed via telephone by an official from Human Resources with the date, time and venue of the interview.
*The municipality does not send an sms to applicants informing them of an interview.
*GTM does not make use of the recruitment agencies.
*Also note that application forms are available in our municipal offices in Tzaneen and on our website (www.greatertzaneen.gov.za).
*To confirm if you are indeed on a shortlist contact HR at 015 307 8384.
“We urge members of the community to be careful with their money. There is no single individual that you can pay to secure employment in the municipality as the recruitment process consists of various stages and involves various stakeholders such as management, Human Resources and the Labour Unions,” said Ndlala.
Please note that any promise for a job in exchange for money is a scam and must be reported to the authorities immediately, please also alert our HR on 015 307 8382.
You can also call HR on 015 307 8006 to confirm receipt of your application after the closing date.
