Scammers target police candidates
The provincial commissioner of police in Limpopo, Lt Gen Thembi Hadebe, has cautioned communities against scammers who are soliciting bribes for possible enlistment as police trainees.
This is after SAPS Limpopo, especially in the Mopani District, received over fifteen reports from candidates who had written psychometric tests for possible entry into the SAPS.
According to reports, the scammers call prospective applicants for the SAPS Basic Training immediately after writing their psychometric tests to pay money in exchange for passing the psychometric assessment.

“Community members should never fall prey to such scammers; police jobs are not for sale. Under no circumstances will a police official ask for money in exchange for a job. We wish to issue a stern warning to scammers that their days are numbered.
Anyone with information regarding those selling government jobs must report the matter to the police for investigation,” she said.
