Fact Check: No, this is not a genuine call for 2024 Nursing applications

Claim: A message on Zimbabwe social media platforms claims that the Ministry of Health and Child Care is inviting applications for the 2024 nurse training programme. It says the requirements includes an application fee of US$10.

Verdict: – False

Ministry of Health and Child Care spokesperson Donald Mujiri dismissed the message as fake.

“When we recruit, applicants are not required to make any application fee, it’s free.  We always use our social media platforms and our website to post such adverts,” he said. The authentic application process was done online through a computer-based portal, which did not include emails.

Mujiri said the message circulating on social media did not have the ministry’s official email and bank account details, and urged the public to always verify such posts to avoid being duped.
