The George Municipality wishes to alert the public to a housing subsidy scam currently in circulation.
Please note that the Municipality does not sell properties allocated to beneficiaries of housing projects. Furthermore, the Municipality will never request an upfront deposit for the purchase of such properties. Claims to the contrary are false, and posts sharing this misinformation on Facebook or other social media platforms are likely linked to a scam.

If you have responded to such posts or been approached by individuals regarding this matter, you are urged to immediately notify the George Municipality’s Human Settlements Department at 044 802 2003.

If a deposit has been paid, it is imperative to report the fraudulent activity and lodge a criminal complaint at your nearest SAPS office.
The George Municipality urges residents to remain vigilant and assist in combating these fraudulent activities.

George Municipality is aware of a failure on the pumpline between the Herold’s Bay Sewer Pump Station and the Waste Water Treatment plant. Suction services have been dispatched to contain the spill and a contractor is en route for repairs. The cleanup will be handled in terms of standard requirements.

The beach is however temporarily closed to swimming and surfing until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.
