Residents seeking employment have been urged to exercise caution after Pikitup, the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, warned of a fraudulent job advertisement circulating on social media and messaging platforms.
Pikitup has assured residents that it is continuing to implement measures to improve waste collection services in parts of the city affected by operational delays.
Pikitup wishes to alert the public that fraudulent messages are currently circulating on social media platforms, falsely claiming to be from its Managing Director and requesting money from recipients.
Pikitup, the waste management entity of the City of Johannesburg, wishes to apologise to the residents serviced by the Midrand, Selby, and Marlboro Depots for non-collection of waste and related services due to labour disputes.
The Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Environment and Infrastructure Services in the City of Johannesburg, Cllr Jack Sekwaila, led a high-impact service delivery operation in Region A’s Ivory Park on September 9 2025.
