Africa: South Africa's Health Department Not Hiring 'Property Caretakers' - Ignore Facebook Posts Claiming Otherwise
[Africa Check] South Africa's health department not hiring 'property caretakers' - ignore Facebook posts claiming otherwise
Facebook posts claiming South Africa's health department has hired property caretaker positions are false. The government agency advises prospective job seekers to consult its official recruitment portals, not social media. The posts, circulating widely in the country, assert salaries between R138,486 and R161,131 per year plus benefits, and provide application links.
These claims echo false job scams Africa Check has previously debunked. The health department has warned, in the past, that only verified sites should be used when applying for employment. Job seekers are cautioned to verify information on government websites, check official vacancy circulars, and avoid sharing personal details with unverified sources.
Similar fraudulent job postings have appeared on social media before. AllAfrica publishes thousands of reports daily from various sources, but responsibility lies with individual publishers. Readers should contact AllAfrica if they have concerns about a report.
