MAFUTSENI – Four male aspiring soldiers tried to hitchhike their way through
to the finals of the army recruitment exercise at Mafutseni but were caught and
punished for about an hour and a half.
The quartet was among the first 15 male aspiring soldiers who were selected for
further exercises but a vigilant instructor spotted them and they were
disqualified.
Furthermore, they were punished for failing to follow the orders which were
explained clearly to them before the 3.2km run started.
They are said to have boarded a grey Mazda sedan which did not have registration
plates and it dropped them off just before the finish line.
Meanwhile, a number of aspiring soldiers turned back after seeing their
competitors boarding the car. They said it was pointless for them to continue
running because the race was unfair.
As punishment, at around 9:30am, they were ordered to do some push-ups, which
were followed by sit-ups. They were also ordered to lie on their backs and face
the sun.
Again, they were instructed to ‘sit on an invisible chair’ while holding
their ears with their hands.
While on the same position, they were ordered to walk forward and backwards.
They also jumped forward and backward while standing with their toes on the
ground and hands holding their ears.
Moreover, the quartet was ordered to pose like a urinating male dog for about 20
minutes before they were freed to go and drink water at 11am.
Their names were registered by the Inkhundla and they were told that it would be
kept as reference in case they get involved in criminal activities.
