Excerpt from A Brief History of the Transvaal Secret Service System: From Its Inception to the Present Time, Its Objects, Its Agents, the Disposal of Its Funds, and the Result as Seen to-Day, War Against Great Britain
Therefore, a person anxious to get at some of the most important State secrets will have to be either a State official, living at first in Pretoria, or have a trustworthy friend in the employ of the said State who can furnish him with such particulars as his position would enable him to easily ascertain. Persons desirous to join the Secret Service of the Transvaal in order to do mischief outside its dominions, will have to show reasons, exemplary references, and must bring with them to Pretoria such personal introductions leaving no doubt as to their guarantee of good faith. The newly employed servant then enters upon nine months' course of instruction and probation, during which time he is carefully watched and shadowed by other Agents in the same employ, quite unknown to himself, and to whom he has to report; from these he also draws his salary, amounting in the aggregate from £5 to £8 and £10 per week; it all depends on the place he fills, what work he is doing, and where he works. If it is as a member of the Espionage Corps and connected with military matters he receives a substantial bonus at the expiration of his term.
