The Citizen reports that the Free State Provincial Government has warned members of the public not to fall victim to a social media scammer, who is promising people jobs in the provincial government in exchange for money and other favours.
The office of the premier has identified a social media user going by the name of Mpho Gift, who claims to be from the office of the premier. According to the Government News Agency, the individual operates by requesting money, which in some cases amounts to about R8,000, from unsuspecting victims promising them placement in the provincial government. “We would like to place it on record that government posts are advertised in the local and national newspapers, other media platforms as well as the Free State Provincial Government website,” said the provincial government in a statement. It also emphasised that no government official or any other person was allowed to solicit or accept a bribe in exchange for job placements. “We will be approaching the law enforcement authorities for further direction on this matter,” the province advised.
