The Department of Defence continues to receive reports of an on-going scam allegedly by certain individuals and groups. These people solicit money from ex-soldiers mostly and unemployed youth with the promise of payments of benefits and integration into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).
The areas that are affected by this scam include Western Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, North West, Free State, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape.
The department has previously issued statements concerning this matter and continues to condemn any activities intended to mislead members of the public regarding integration into the SANDF. The department reiterates that there is no integration planned by the department as the integration process concluded on December 2002.
Members of the public are encouraged to report any person or persons who demand money from them with the promise of integration into the SANDF at their nearest police station.
