The City would like to bring to the attention of the public that there are scammers making use of the name and cellphone number of Cllr Mduduzi Nkosi to dupe unsuspecting victims into paying for non-existent jobs.

The matter has been reported to the SAPS who are investigating.

We ask that all individuals who have fallen prey to these scammers report the matter urgently. 

In addition to Cllr Nkosi's number, the scammers are known to also use 072 034 8783 to make calls.

eThekwini Municipality reiterates that Municipal jobs are not for sale. The Municipality would not ask those seeking employment to pay for any job. The Municipality follows a fair and transparent recruitment process.

All eThekwini Municipal job opportunities are advertised on the official website through the City’s online application system on www.durban.gov.za.

Jobs are also advertised every fortnight in the Metro Ezasegagasini newspaper, a Municipal publication and in some local newspapers. Those seeking employment are encouraged to apply through these reliable mediums.

The public is also urged to report anyone, even Municipal officials, who approach them with offers of jobs for sale. Please report them to the Municipality’s City Integrity and Investigations Unit on 0800 202020 or the South African Police Services on 10111.
