IT has come to the Municipalitys attention that there are blackberry messages circulating, falsely advertising vacant positions at the Metro Police. The Municipality would like to alert all citizens that this is a hoax and if you should receive this message, please ignore it and contact Senior Supt. Eugene Msomi, on 031 311 2824 or email msomie@durban.gov.za as soon as possible.

We have had over 2 000 people enquiring about these positions and the public should know that this is a hoax. Although no incidents of extortion have been reported, we are however, taking this matter very seriously because we do not know what the intentions of these people are.

The perpetrators of this will be dealt with accordingly when we find them, said Metro Police Spokesperson, Senior Supt. Eugene Msomi,
