Job seekers and entrepreneurs who wish to do business with the metro are warned not to pay any person or employee money for jobs and tenders.<\/p>\n
The metro pleads with the public to be vigilant of scammers selling non-existent municipal jobs, and tender documents, to unsuspecting job seekers and businesspeople.<\/p>
The municipality has been inundated with businesspeople who have been lured into a tender scam to provide waste bins.<\/p>\n
These types of scams are common at this time of the year.<\/p>
The municipality is urging the public to be smart and not desperate for employment or business and urges them not to hand over money to any of its employees or people purporting to be metro employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe metro\u2019s recruitment and procurement processes are transparent and follow ethical principles,\u201d said Themba Gadebe, spokesperson for the metro.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, the metro\u2019s processes are open, predictable and afford each prospective bidder timely access to the same and accurate information.\u201d<\/p>\n
