JWANENG: With the anticipated Cut 9 project at Debswana Jwaneng Mine, many are already falling prey to conmen who swindle them of their hard earned cash under the pretext that they will hire them under the lucrative project.

Hundreds of unemployed youth flocked to Jwaneng last week to register at the labour office but some were unfortunate to have met fraudsters who claim to be agents from the mine’s recruitment department. Their trend was simply asking unsuspecting youth to pay a certain amount and submit their documents to secure employment at the mine. They later disappeared and switched of their cell phones when the job seekers tried to make a follow up of the deal.

One of the victims who preferred anonymity came to Jwaneng last week for registration but he was deceived to look for a sum of P3,000 to secure his employment at the mine. After giving cash to three unknown men who were on mine reflectors, they called him some minutes later to confirm that they submitted his application. He was shocked to learn that it was unprocedural for him to have paid and their phone numbers were not going through.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
