Scammers often target communities by pretending to represent Mogale City. To protect yourself, it’s important to know how the municipality handles payments, recruitment, credit control, and advertisements. Mogale City will never ask for money or personal details outside of official processes. Stay informed, and if you are unsure, always verify through our official channels to avoid falling victim

- Payments are only accepted at municipal pay points or via EFT (Mogale is listed as a public beneficiary at all major banks).

- Only positions advertised on official municipal channels, i.e. Website (mogalecity.gov.za), official social media platforms and national newspapers are valid.
