Pikitup strongly distances itself from a fraudulent job advertisement circulating on social media platforms, which directs applicants to respond via an online address and a cellphone number that do not belong to the City of Johannesburg or the waste management company.

The illegal job advertisement instructs applicants to respond to www.dailyupdate.co.za or to contact 061 271 6483. Applicants are advised not to respond to this advertisement, but instead to apply via the legitimate channels, which require responses to the following official platforms: https://share.hsforms.com/19z2zWPLSH6nBw07zoHORg469tl or generalworkerenquiries2@pikitup.co.za.
