Note for you in Thohoyandou, Limpopo: This post is ±1 000 km away in Bloemfontein. Relocation would be at your own cost (DoD does not pay interview travel). However, the same circular has very similar Level 05 posts (Registry Clerk, Admin Clerk, etc.) at AFB Makhado (Limpopo – only ~30–40 km from Thohoyandou) with enquiries: Lt G.P. Mophuthing / Sgt Masilo (015) 577 2006/2007 and email afbmkdhr@dod.mil.za. Let me know if you want those details too!
