Eyewitness News: Military police and SAPS join forces to catch scamsters

Chantal Presence | 23 June 2012

JOHANNESBURG - The Department of Defence and Military Veterans said military police are working with the South African Police Service to get to the bottom of a scam involving the sale of application forms into the South African navy.

Con artists are apparently selling the forms to residents from Khayelitsha and Gugulethu townships in Cape Town for as much as R1, 500.

Department spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini encouraged all who have fallen victim to the scam to report the matter and culprits to police.

“Application forms of the SANDF [South African National Defence Force] are not for sale and people should not buy these forms."
