The imposter has created fraudulent accounts using Tino Machakaire's name and identity to perpetrate a scam involving fake loans, an act that has prompted Machakaire to issue a cautionary message to the public.

The imposter, according to Machakaire, has replicated his accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other platforms in an effort to legitimize their deceitful activities. Machakaire has categorically stated that neither he nor the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Development, and Vocational Training, with which he is associated, are involved in offering any form of loans. 

He emphasized that he does not possess any South African bank accounts and has never solicited money from anyone through social media.

"I urge you to report the incident to your nearest police station if you have been approached by such a person," Machakaire implored, emphasizing the importance of collective vigilance and proactive measures to combat fraudulent endeavors.
