The Star reports that the South West Gauteng TVET College has warned its students and unsuspecting citizens about fake Facebook pages claiming to represent the college.

The institution was inundated with calls from concerned residents and potential students inquiring about the fee that they were informed must accompany application forms. “The operators of these Facebook pages deceive the public into believing that they are working with the college by requesting money from prospective students to assist them with ‘Application/registration’. They have also been spreading fake information that has not been authorised by the college,” the college’s spokesperson, Patience Makhapela, indicated on Wednesday. She said the institution would never request an application fee from prospective students. “All other payments relating to the registration will be communicated to prospective students in person at the college campus where they have applied to study,” Makhapela added.
