HOPEFUL job hunters have been warned not to fall prey to a job scam advertising vacancies at the King Shaka International Airport (KSIA).
In a Facebook post, KISA said credible job vacancies are only advertised on their official website, www.airports.co.za.
“Please be advised that we are experiencing job vacancy scams. Our vacancies are only advertised on our website. Any vacancy that has a fee attached to it must always be considered a scam,” read the post.

If the job vacancies includes a Gmail email address, this is a tell-tale sign that it is a scam, added KISA.
“We do not list multiple positions in one advert, a vacancy will be specific to one job per vacancy. Our staff have a Grade 12 minimum qualification. We never use Gmail email addresses or cellphone numbers. You do not pay to apply for vacancies,” read the post.
