Police top brass worried as criminal elements crawl into SAPS recruitment drive

PRETORIA - Acts of bribery and corruption relating to the ongoing recruitment of South African Police Service trainees has caused concern to the SAPS provincial management in Gauteng, spokesperson Mathapelo Peters said on Saturday.

"In line with the SAPS anti-corruption strategy launched in 2018, the provincial anti-corruption investigating unit on Monday arrested a 39-year-old constable from Florida [in Johannesburg] on charges of corruption and fraud after he was caught selling application forms to aspirant trainees at a cost of R3000 per application," said Peters.

"Two days later, the ACIU arrested a 25-year-old man from Freedom Park, Soweto after management at the provincial head office were made aware of an applicant who came into the SAPS offices and offered, voluntarily, to pay an official R3000 in exchange for securing a spot on the list of successful applicants.
