Important notice

   

It has been brought to the attention of UNICEF South Africa that there is a fraudulent notice indicating that UNICEF, with SASSA, the DSD, Shoprite, Pick n Pay and other entities are granting unemployed citizens of South Africa grocery vouchers to the value of R2200.

UNICEF confirms that this is not a legitimate initiative and should be disregarded.

UNICEF is currently in the process of investigating this scam with the relevant authorities.
