Summary

SAPS tackles racial recruitment rumors head-on, revealing that the latest officer cohort mirrors the diverse applicant pool — over a million submissions, mostly from African applicants but including White, Indian, and Coloured candidates too. They stress that selection was based on merit, valid licenses for operational readiness, and a rigorous vetting process. While leaders like Gayton McKenzie voice concerns over representation, SAPS pledges transparency and is launching targeted outreach to boost diversity and combat unemployment — all while upholding high standards for integrity and fitness.
