Putting into account the misleading information that has been circulating in regards to recruitment, Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) has brought to attention that the message being broadcast is fake.
In her official statement Chief Superintendent Meya Khanyezi the National Public Relations Officer said, “Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) brings to your attention a matter of utmost importance regarding a fake recruitment message that has been circulating recently.

These platforms are carefully monitored and managed to ensure transparency and fairness throughout the recruitment process”.
She said, “Beware of False Email Address:
The fake recruitment message advises potential recruits to submit their documents to the email address “zpcsintake@gmail.com.” We want to categorically state that ZPCS does not own or operate this email address. It is imperative that members of the public refrain from sending any personal information or documents to this email address, as it is not associated with ZPCS in any way”.
Chief Supt Khanyezi also said that, ” for accurate and reliable information regarding ZPCS recruitment, we strongly advise you to refer to our official channels. These include our Twitter account with the username ZPCS_PR and our Facebook page, “Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service.” Any updates or announcements regarding recruitment will be posted on these platforms”.
