The South African Special Forces will be recruiting new members this month, with a recruitment drive covering most of the country.
Only Regular and Reserve Force (including MSDS) members are allowed to apply (and not the general public), the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) said. Other requirements include being between 18 and 26 years of age; having no criminal record; a medical classification of G1K1 Green; and not being area bound. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, candidates must present a 72 hours negative COVID-19 test result.
The recruitment drive will kick off on 10 May at the School of Engineering in the Free State and at Bulembu in the Eastern Cape. This will be followed by 44 Parachute Regiment in the Free State, 6 SA Infantry Battalion in the Eastern Cape and ASB Eastern Cape on 11 May. 14 May will see recruitment taking place at the Durban Regiment in KwaZulu-Natal.
