SCAM ALERT: SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PROCESSES
We have noticed an increase in fraudulent activities where fraudsters pretending to represent the Municipality contact tenderers via e-mail, WhatsApp or telephone, requesting that a payment be made directly to them, to enable the Municipality to make an award or improve the service providers’ chances in receiving the award.
The Saldanha Bay Municipality distances itself from such activities and will never request a tenderer to make a payment.
Please inform the Supply Chain Management Department on 022 701 6916 should you receive any suspicious communication. Alternatively, report it on the Fraud Hotline:
Toll free number: 0800 444 990

PUBLIC NOTICE: FRAUDULENT DRIVING LICENCE SCAMS
We have become aware of an alarming increase in fraudulent activities involving scammers posing as employees of Driving Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs) in the West Coast area. These individuals are misleading people by advertising fake services through local social media platforms, such as Facebook. In October 2024, a person attempted to apply for a new driving licence using a fraudulent Temporary Driving Licence, which was detected by the Natis System. This person was arrested, and a case was opened at South African Police Service (SAPS) in Vredenburg.
This scam continues to target unsuspecting members of the public, with recent reports, including one from a woman who was scammed just recently. As a result, further investigations have been initiated to address this growing concern.
