Alert: Tender Scam Warning!!!

The KZN Department of Public Works will never require any payment to secure a tender award.

Any request requiring upfront payment, whether this is in the form of a telephone call or an email that appears to be from a valid KZN Department of Public Works email address is an attempt to defraud you. 

DO NOT respond to such requests as this is a result of email spoofing.

Email spoofing is the forgery of an email header (address) so that the message appears to have originated from someone authentic.  For instance, it may appear to have come from an official in the KZN Department of Public Works when it has not.

Always verify the validity of tenders with the KZN Department of Public Works by using the official contact numbers or email addresses of the Department. 

Please immediately inform the KZN Department of Public Works if you receive such a request for payment, by contacting:
