GOVERNMENT JOBS ARE NOT FOR SALE: DEPT OF HEALTH

Gauteng Department of Health would like to warn community members not to fall victim to scammers who are fraudulently inviting people to apply for nursing, porting and general vacancies at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital (DGMAH) in Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria.

It has been brought to the Department’s attention that there is an advertisement circulating which claims to come from human resources coordinator from DGMAH.

When people call the contacts on the advert they are then asked to deposit R2000 into a retail store in exchange for employment. We want to state firmly that vacancies in the public service are not for sale.

The Department advertises vacancies through trustworthy platforms such as Gauteng Online portal; Department of Public Service and Administration website and newspapers.

MEC for Health, Ms Qedani Mahlangu said: “We condemn those who exploit people’s desperation for employment for their own devious ends. We plead with community members not pay money for jobs in any of our facilities. Anyone approached for job in exchange for money should report that to the police.”
