Unemployed police recruits march for jobs in Pretoria

The group handed over a memorandum demanding that 80% of the recruitment in the sector should be graduates and 20% matriculants, and the age requirements to join the force be changed to 18 to 40 years old.“I am almost 35 years old. The age limit for the graduates is 35, which means my time is running out,” she said.“I studied hard to be here. I grew up with a passion for law enforcement, but I am not getting those opportunities,” she said.

Africa Restoration Alliance Gauteng premier candidate Reverend Dingane Sithole said: “If the government is not hiring qualified graduates, who are they employing?” Criminologist Dr Witness Maluleke said the South African Police Service considered graduates from different disciplines. “Worryingly, many higher education institutions do not offer experiential learning, leaving a vacuum for integrating theory into practice. Limited private colleges offer this integration,” he said.Cop convicted of murdering estranged wife and her boyfriend
