JOB SCAM ALERT
Saldanha Bay Municipality has been made aware of an individual posing as a municipal employee, identifying himself as “Mr Matsibula”, and falsely claiming that he can arrange interviews for permanent employment opportunities at the Municipality.
The public is warned that this is a scam.
Saldanha Bay Municipality follows established recruitment and selection procedures for all appointments. Members of the public are strongly advised NOT to engage with this individual or make any payments for alleged medical examinations or employment opportunities.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant and verify all employment opportunities through the Municipality’s official communication channels.
For legitimate municipal vacancies and official application forms, visit: https://sbm.gov.za/jobs/
Stay alert. Do not fall victim to employment scams.

PUBLIC NOTICE: STAY ALERT – PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUD, SCAMS, AND CORRUPT PRACTICES
The Saldanha Bay Municipality calls on all its residents, businesses, and consumers at large to stay informed and remain vigilant against the growing threats of bribery, scams, fraudulent activities, and corruption in our communities.
We are receiving increasing reports of the following illegal practices:
🚫 Fake job offers and fraudulent job interviews being arranged under the false pretext of municipal employment
🚫 Individuals impersonating municipal officials to gain trust or payment
🚫 Threats of service disconnection (electricity or water) unless a fee is paid or a specific number is called
🚫 Illegal electricity tokens being sold at a so-called “discounted tariff” – these are not valid
🚫 Fraudsters promising tender awards in exchange for payment – this is a scam and a criminal offence
Be aware: The Saldanha Bay Municipality does not charge for job applications, interviews, or tender awards, nor do we make threats to disconnect services in exchange for payment.
How to Report Suspicious Activity:
If you suspect any bribery, corruption, scams, or fraudulent behaviour, do not stay silent.
