Mpumalanga Department of Health distances itself from a bogus intake from fly by night advertisers that might be busy cunning people’s hard cash.

Department spokesperson Dumisani Malamule told Bvunza Mutupo  News that Department of Health has been receiving calls from the public, inquiring about an advert inviting the public to apply for admission at the Mpumalanga Nursing College at Themba Hospital near Nelspruit.

The bogus advert, which is alleged to be inviting the public to apply for admission for a four (4) year programme to study nursing at the college is alleged to be circulating via social media networks like what’s up and sms sent to people’s cellphones.

“The Department would like to distance itself from the alleged advert. The Department does not invite the public to apply for admission via smses or any social media network.

“The Department follows a standard government procedure whereby an advert will be placed with a credible local or national newspaper or via internal circulars. The advert will contain the Department’s letter head, valid office contact numbers, a contact person and a valid postal address.” Dumisani Malamule said.

Department of Health warns people that if they do apply to such advert, they do at their own risks since the Department is not aware.

Malamule say the Public is encouraged to report the matter to the police station if they receive such smses.
