THE KZN Department of Health has again become the target of job scammers, this time purporting to offer employment at Ladysmith Provincial Hospital.
The fake advert claims to seek candidates for jobs such as general staff, kitchen staff, data capturers and enrolled nurses.
The department urged members of the public to avoid falling victims to such scams, and rather familiarise themselves with the recruitment processes.

The department advertises its vacancies in reputable newspapers, the Department of Public Service and Administration’s website (dpsa.gov.za), and its own official website (kznhealth.gov.za), as well as occasionally on its official Facebook page.
“There is never any amount requested, on the printed advert or telephonically. This would constitute bribery, which is illegal. There is always a reference number included for every advert,” the department said in a statement.
Residents are urged to contact the department on 033 395 2111 to confirm the authenticity of posts.
