The City of Cape Town has been alerted to an advert for so called “urban agriculture project internships” that is circulating. It wishes to warn the public that this is a scam aimed at defrauding students.
The persistent trend of fraudulent adverts is concerning, especially at a time when unemployment is at levels higher than ever before in South Africa. Young people are desperate to start working, and the advert is giving them false hope the City urges.
Therefore, this act must be regarded as criminal and unlawful, and reported accordingly.
