""DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE IS HIRING," reads a Facebook post advertising vacancies at the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), the country's army. According to this Facebook post and many others like it, the positions supposedly require basic computer literacy and a matric certificate. While these posts include a photo of a document with an SANDF letterhead, they haven't been published by the army."
"The posts encourage applicants to apply via a website that is not associated with the SANDF. They also misrepresent the requirements and application process for the positions. Legit job listings for positions at the Department of Defence and other government departments are available on the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) website. The DPSA is responsible for, among other things, overseeing government employment programmes and regularly advertises public sector jobs in its public service vacancy circular."
