THE eThekwini Municipality mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda, has warned residents to be aware of two fake Facebook accounts, with his profile picture, promising jobs to people.
One of the two bogus accounts is promising people jobs at the Municipality’s Durban Solid Waste Unit and the post says applicants must contact a certain ‘Dr Mncube’.
“The Municipality has a very sound and transparent recruitment process; therefore, I will never advertise jobs on Facebook. Municipal vacancies are advertised every second Friday in the Municipality’s Staff Vacancy Circular which is published in the Municipal publication – Metro eZasegagasini,” said Kaunda.

The fake account promises people that there will soon be vacancies for picking up rubbish across Durban.
Members of the public who have come across such a scam are urged to report it to the Ombudsperson on 0800 20 20 20 or 031 311 4002.
