The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has warned the public to be aware of a fake traffic officer job learnership circulating on social media site, TikTok.
The RTMC said the advert, inviting individuals to apply for a Traffic Officer Learnership, is “entirely fake and has not been published by the corporation”.
“The RTMC condemns, in the strongest possible terms, individuals who prey on the public by spreading false information and exploiting job seekers in an attempt to solicit bribes or other personal gains.
“These unethical and criminal activities not only tarnish the image of genuine organisations but also cause financial and emotional harm to innocent members of our society.
“We wish to emphasise that all RTMC job opportunities, including learnerships and internships, are advertised on the official RTMC website www.rtmc.co.za. and on reputable publications. The corporation does not charge any fees or require any payments for applications or interviews,” the corporation said in a statement.
The public is urged to verify any RTMC job related information at www.rtmc.co.za or by email at info@rtmc.co.za or by calling 0861 400 800.
“If you encounter any suspicious job adverts or are approached with demands for payment in exchange for employment, please contact the RTMC to assist in combating this fraudulent activity.
“The RTMC remains committed to promoting integrity, transparency, and fair opportunities for all South Africans. The RTMC further denounces those who seek to exploit the vulnerabilities of others,” the statement concluded.
