IOL News reports that the SA Police Service (SAPS) has confirmed that more than 67,000 applications have been received in its new e-Recruitment drive, which only offers posts for 5,500 trainees.
National police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, indicated that in just the first 24 hours since the application portal opened, the SAPS received more than 67,774 applications. The influx has been challenging for the SAPS with the website struggling to cope with the high volume of traffic. Recognising the issue, officials from the Technology Management Services (TMS), including IT experts, are monitoring the site to manage the rush of applications. In the meantime, applicants are encouraged to remain patient and to refresh the careers page regularly to ensure their submissions are processed. With the closing date set for 18 July 2025, the SAPS has reiterated the necessity for applicants to submit their forms through the website portal exclusively. Applications sent via email will not be accepted.
