MEDIA STATEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SCAM ALERT

Source: Home Affairs, 12/09/2019


The Department of Home Affairs has noted messages on social media
saying there are people pretending to be Home Affairs officials only
to rob people once they have gained access to their homes. The
message alleges that they are carrying letterheads purportedly from
the department.

Home Affairs has not received any complaint of this nature from
members of the public. People who are aware of such an activity,
depending on its veracity, are advised to report it to the police.

“We reiterate our message that Home Affairs officials do not and will
not come to your homes to validate IDs”, said acting Home Affairs
Director-General Thulani Mavuso.
