A candidate air force officer died of a heart attack and another was injured, during a 24-hour physical training exercise near Hammanskraal, outside Pretoria.
It is believed that flight Sergeant Lionel Marthinus died after he complained of chest pains.
Sergeant R van Tonder encored a broken ankle during the training session.
Reports quote the South African National Defence Union’s Pikkie Greef as saying officers have allegedly been threatened with disciplinary action if they leaked to the media or union.
An investigation into the incident has been opened.
