The Zimbabwean Prison and Correctional Services has dismmised a message circulating on social media that it is holding a special recruitment for people with Albanism.
The message states that the Prison Officers are recruiting males and females aged 18-30 years with Abanism. It states that the applicants must have five O Levels and must contact the ZPSC Chief Superintendent Marango and provided the number.
In response to this circulation ZPCS issued a statement through Assistant Commissioner Meya Khanyezi
National Public Relations Officer and the statement reads:
Fake Message Alert!!
It has come to our attention that a false and misleading message is circulating on WhatsApp, claiming that the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) is conducting a special recruitment for people living with albinism. This message is completely fabricated and fraudulent.
ZPCS would never engage in such discriminatory and unethical practices. We are committed to being an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. All of our recruitment efforts are conducted through official, transparent channels.
We urge everyone to be cautious of unsolicited messages like this one, which are likely scams intended to mislead and take advantage of vulnerable individuals.
If you have any questions or would like information about legitimate ZPCS job opportunities, please visit our official Facebook page (Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service), follow our Twitter handle (@ZPCS_PR), or call our main office at 04(762724) / 0714239142.
Do not engage with or respond to the false WhatsApp message. It is completely fabricated and has no connection to ZPCS. We stand in solidarity with our citizens living with albinism and condemn any attempts to exploit or discriminate against them.
Assistant Commissioner Meya Khanyezi
National Public Relations Officer
