77 Metro Police cadets in rhythmic drill at Sea Point Promenade

South Africa - Cape Town - 12 October 2023 - Capetonians on the Sea Point promenade we treated this morning to a fitness training display of 77 Metro Police cadets being chased by a very rhythmic drill instructor. The City of Cape Town is embarking on a drive to train 1000 recruits on an 18-month full-time Learnership Program in Road Traffic Law Enforcement and Metro Police. This forms part of the City of Cape Town’s commitment to addressing the high levels of unemployment in our youth, as well as providing the necessary opportunities for skills enhancement. The City invites suitably qualified and unemployed youth aged 18 – 35, who meet the relevant minimum requirements, to apply. The training will be provided by the Metro Police Academy and the duration will be over a period of 18 months from 1 December 2023 until 31 May 2025.
