EWN reports that in a statement released on Saturday, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) dismissed as false claims circulating on social media that teachers were required to pay R350 for verification.
The department stressed that no payments were required for verification or recruitment processes and warned that any request for payment in exchange for placement was fraudulent. Spokesperson Terence Khala indicated: “The department wishes to make it unequivocally clear that no payment, fee, or deposit of any kind is ever required from teachers, public servants, or learners as part of the department’s verification or recruitment processes. The verification process forms part of standard administrative procedures that ensure the integrity and safety of the education system, and it includes the vetting of teachers, public servants, and learners where applicable.” He advised that all legitimate recruitment, verification, and appointment procedures were handled directly by the provincial education departments.
