The Citizen reports that the South African Navy is embarking on a massive nationwide recruitment drive for fresh divers for its ranks.
Applicants should be South African citizens, and, if aged between 18 and 22, should have matriculated with pure mathematics. If older than 22 years, potential candidates should be in possession of a tertiary qualification, but should not be older than 26 years. The SANDF said in a statement that divers were integral to any missions and operations of the SA Navy and their invaluable functions included underwater and coastal reconnaissance, search and rescue, clearance diving, demolitions and salvage operations. “This is not a regular SANDF recruitment drive but a specific targeted search which seeks to recruit diver candidates for the SA Navy,” SA Navy‘s Captain Prince Tshabalala advised. Potential candidates will be put through a selection process that will include physical training and water activities. Successful candidates will be subjected to the Human Resources recruitment process and will form part of the 2024 Military Skills Development Skills Intake. This news report gives details of the venues where recruitment will take place.
