Cape Town – A recruitment company is fraudulently using the Western Cape government’s name to recruit aspiring traffic officers, an official said on Thursday.

Provincial community safety department head Gilbert Lawrence said the company invited candidates to submit their CVs and pay R150.

“The public is warned to be alert as the department will use its own website or place the recruitment advert in the relevant media, to invite prospective applicants to apply,” said Lawrence.

“This process will take place at no charge.”

The matter had been reported to the police.
