A job advertisement making rounds on social media claiming that a so-called “Civil Service Commission” in the Republic of South Sudan is recruiting over 6,500 potential candidates to fill vacant positions in various government parastatals is a hoax.

The advertisement which first appeared on Facebook on Monday, 18th April 2022 states that job applicants should send their detailed CVs and cover letters to an email before 25th April 2022.

However, the job advertisement is a hoax because it doesn’t come from an existing and legitimate government body. The government announces job openings via state media and public notice boards.

The “Civil Service Commission” though provided for in the Transitional Constitution of South Sudan has not been established yet. The Ministry of public service does its role.
