“We would like to warn the public to be on the look-out for people claiming to represent the South African National Parks (SANParks), in particular the KNP by offering job opportunities. SANParks has its own established channels in place of dealing with recruitment and placement at no charge,” said the General Manager, Communications and Marketing, William Mabasa.

These fraudulent sources do not address the email recipient by name nor provide their contact details e.g. residential address, telephone number, business registration number except the email address [email protected]; wherein the candidates should submit the required documents, including proof of payment.

This scam comes at a time when the Park is in a process of selecting and training 122 security guards. “Those who apply for any advertised position in the Park and are successful should please note that they will only be contacted by relevant HR officials who will identify themselves via telephone; and not through email. To verify issues of employment in the KNP, the public can call 013 735 4127 and ask to speak to the HR Helpdesk Official.

Mabasa further warned everybody to check the credentials of the person/s who claim to be SANParks/KNP before contributing anything of monetary value to them.
