Job seekers and entrepreneurs who wish to do business with the City of Ekurhuleni are warned not to pay any person or employee money for jobs and tenders.
The public is warned to be vigilant of scammers selling non-existent municipal jobs and tender documents to unsuspecting job seekers and entrepreneurs.
The city has been inundated with reports of entrepreneurs who have been lured into a tender scam to provide waste bins.
According to the municipality, these types of scams are common at this time of the year “as unscrupulous elements want to achieve their money-making New Year’s resolutions quicker, and prey on equally desperate residents and business persons.”
The city’s recruitment and procurement processes are steeped in transparency and ethical principles.

Therefore, the city’s processes are open, predictable and afford each prospective bidder timely access to the same and accurate information.
In terms of recruitment, the city advertises vacancies, shortlist candidates, interviews and appointments.
The city migrated its recruitment process from a manual format to an online platform last year.
As a result of this migration, the city is no longer accepting manual submissions of job applications at customer care centres and human resource offices.
All applications are done online and vacancies are advertised on the website (www.ekurhuleni.gov.za/vacancies).
Request for quotations and notices to tender are available on Ekurhuleni’s website (www.ekurhuleni.gov.za).
