An increasing number of public servants are lying about their qualifications and that has prompted government to take a firm decision to crack down on the culprits. In a recent briefing to the National Assembly's portfolio committee, the Department of Public Service and Administration disclosed that 640 cases of fraud or misrepresentation of academic qualifications were uncovered during a verification process. The disclosure follows a raft of revelations in recent months about public figures who have been caught misrepresenting their academic qualifications. More than 40% of unemployment South Africans are said to be desperate for work and each vacant position is heavily contested. As a result, the falsification of qualifications and experience in South Africa stands at epidemic proportions.
