Zimbabwe’s Consul-General to South Africa, Mr Batiraishe Mukonoweshuro, has warned Zimbabweans to be on the lookout for people who invite them to South Africa promising them jobs, in exchange for a certain fee. Human traffickers and fraudsters are said to be behind the majority of the advertisements. He urged people to approach the embassy in South Africa to verify the agents making the job offers.
Said Mukonoweshuro:
We always urge those willing to do business to contact the Trade and Investment Promotion Officer at the Consulate for any assistance or verifications required,
Mukonoweshuro also revealed that they had identified and caused the arrest of one such conman called Wallace Dube. Mukonoweshuro said:
He charges those without work permits R6000 alleging that he has an agent who processes the permits for R12 000, and that he will pay the other R6 000 for a few shortlisted candidates.
In one of the adverts he said the work permits would be processed in two weeks and the prospective candidates should travel to South Africa on February 3 for medical examinations and start working.
He is a fraudster and people should ignore such kind of message.
