The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has been alerted to a recruitment scam doing the rounds on social media.
The scam reportedly uses fraudulent application forms and claims to be recruiting the youth for the Military Skills Development System (MSDS) on various social media platforms.
“The public is warned to ignore and report these fraudulent activities instigated by the faceless charlatans aimed at swindling the unsuspecting and vulnerable youth out of their money,” warned Brig Gen Mafi Mgobozi.
