A Facebook and/or Twitter accounts have been fraudulently opened using the name of the Minister of Employment and Labour, Hon. TW Nxesi.

In the account(s) posing as the Minister, the imposters are inviting members of the public with ideas of “creating ‘business purpose’ to solve job unemployment for our youth” for a chat and to send business proposal via email to the minister’s office via: thulisnxesi@politician.com

The Minister’s Office wishes to categorically dispel any existence of the account, as it is a scam. The Minister will not use non-existent accounts and emails to invite public to chats.

The Minister’s Office does not subscribe to any social media platform currently. The Minister’s Office wishes to inform the public to desist from interacting with the fake social media accounts as they will be conned their hard earned money for all the wrong reasons.
