The Public Service Commission has said that a memo suggesting organized shopping trips to South Africa is fake. The memo has been circulating on social media purporting to be from the PSC.
Said PSC today in a tweet:
False and misinformation!! The Public Service wishes to inform the Public and stakeholders that there is a fake memo circulating on social media purporting that there will be organized shopping trips to South Africa. This is a scam and should be condemned.
The memo itself read:
