These fraudsters are working closely with syndicates that assist them in producing these fake-qualifications.  \nIn a separate incident earlier today, another applicant, who was in the process of acquiring a Professional Registration Certificate, was also arrested for a similar offence within our Eastern Cape Provincial Office, after submitting a fake diploma teaching qualification. The applicant will be taken into police custody also.  \nSACE warns people who have fake qualifications or are in the process of getting one to never come anywhere near SACE premises or schools because there are measures in place and they will be arrested on the spot. Council is working collectively with the South African Police Services (SAPS) and other partners in apprehending all scammers. A process of vetting is in place to ensure that all documents submitted by applicants are authentic.  \nIssued by the South African Council for Educators (SACE) : Office of the Chief Executive.  \nFor further communication, please contact: Mr Risuna Nkuna  \nTel: 069 423 [7490 / Email :](7490 / Email : Risuna.Nkuna@sace.org.za)[ ](7490 / Email : Risuna.Nkuna@sace.org.za)[Risuna.Nkuna@sace.org.za](7490 / Email : Risuna.Nkuna@sace.org.za)","cbCaige99dVF2TPr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaige99dVF2TPr","pdf",162687,"English","# Key incident: 12 June 2023 arrest at SACE headquarters\n## Alleged documents and arrest process\n## Statement by SACE leadership and warning\n## Coordination with police and document vetting","[{\"question\":\"Where and when was the bogus teacher applicant arrested?\",\"answer\":\"The applicant was arrested at the South African Council for Educators (SACE) headquarters in Centurion, Gauteng on Monday, 12 June 2023.\"},{\"question\":\"What documents were allegedly used in the incident?\",\"answer\":\"The applicant allegedly presented a fake Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) when attempting to apply for a Professional Registration Certificate.\"},{\"question\":\"What actions does SACE say it takes against fake qualifications?\",\"answer\":\"SACE states measures are in place to arrest people with fake qualifications, works with the South African Police Services and other partners, and uses a vetting process to ensure submitted documents are authentic.\"}]","MEDIA STATEMENT - SACE BOGUS “TEACHER” APPLICANTS’ ARRESTED - 12 June 2023 | PDF",1792379507]
