The Pretoria Regional Court has sentenced a man to a five-year jail sentence for falsely representing himself as a member of the SANDF.
Irvin Thapelo Mokgosi was also sentenced on Thursday for possessing and wearing a uniform with distinctive markings belonging to the SANDF, without the necessary authority.
The Military Police arrested Mokgosi during the clearing-in procedure of 21 South African Infantry Battalion soldiers at Tshwane Regiment in May of last year.
The Chief of the SANDF, General Solly Shoke welcomed the sentence and warned that no act of criminality will be tolerated and allowed to go unpunished in the military.
