“It has come to our attention that false information is making the rounds on social media platforms about employment opportunities at Statistics South Africa,” the release read.
“Stats SA wishes to caution the public about impostors claiming to represent the organisation, falsely promising jobs and asking for prepayment to secure jobs for applicants.
“Stats SA wishes to officially state that no vacancies are currently advertised and no agency or middle man represents the organisation for the purposes of recruitment.
“Employment opportunities at Statistics South Africa are advertised on Stats SA’s official website, in Sunday newspapers and via the Department of Public Service and Administration’s circular.
“Information on vacancies is also posted on our official social media platforms.
“The public is cautioned that government departments will never ask for payment for recruitment processes.
“Where cases of this nature come to light, the victims should lodge a complaint with the relevant authorities.
“The public is requested to check Stats SA’s official platforms to keep informed of job opportunities at the organisation.”
