    In a statement, the Commission warned that the advertisement circulating on WhatsApp and other social media platforms, claiming that an ‘Election Committee’ had announced 50,000 vacancies for young people, is not legitimate.

    “The message goes on to ask people to submit their personal information in order to complete the application process,” reads the statement.

    The email address and logo used in the message is not the Commission’s address and logo. However, unsuspecting job seekers may easily mistake the advert as legitimate and fall for the scam.

    The Electoral Commission said it only advertises notices of jobs and vacancies on its official website www.elections.org.za.
