Pikitup distances itself from fake social media recruitment posts
Pikitup would like to inform residents of the City of Johannesburg that the messages are fake, and that it is not hiring general workers.
City of Joburg MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services Department Mpho Moerane said that Pikitup has not advertised, nor will it be hiring general workers from April 20, as purported on social media platforms.
Pikitup has noted with concern the fake messages circulated on social media platforms that it will be hiring general workers.
Residents are reminded that if Pikitup undertakes a personnel recruitment process, such a process is normally undertaken in compliance with the provision of the Labour Relations Act. This imposes a duty on organisations to advertise posts on public platforms to enable all interested parties with an equal opportunity to compete for the advertised positions.
Pikitup’s employment policies also advocate for a transparent, equal and fair employment process.
In compliance with the Labour Relations Act and its internal policies, Pikitup, therefore, advertises positions or vacancies in newspapers and on its website. It does not advertise vacancies on social media platforms.
It is against this backdrop that Pikitup appeals to members of the public not to heed the fake messages posted on social media platforms.
