THE deadline is fast approaching to apply for one of the 5 500 SAPS trainee posts.

- MERCURY CORRESPONDENT

The SAPS has officially launched its e-Recruitment drive, giving youth aged 18 to 35 until July 18, 2025, to apply. This new system means no paperwork, no queues just an online application.

The shift to a digital platform is expected to reduce paperwork, curb corruption and nepotism, and prevent lost applications. It will also enhance fairness, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and improve the integrity and speed of the recruitment process.
