Hi Babalwa
The State Forensic Science Labs are often looking for new staff members. They generally advertise in the Sunday papers and advertise for a number of posts at the same time. Whenever we are notified of posts that are available you will find the information on our blog. Alternatively, you can contact the SAPS to enquire regarding current employment opportunities or even some private laboratories that do work on cases, e.g. paternity testing, such as: Pathcare, Unistel, GENEDiagnostics and Lancet.
