saengine: Like i stated earlier, the article should be thrown into the garbage section, since neither you nor the article it'self can substantiate the contents in the report. A delusional report to self-aggrandisement with no substance. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Henry120: Yet you don't give concrete reasoning as to why it should be thrown into garbage bin. Convince us with facts, not your weak and feeble reasoning that the minister of defence should know about their whereabouts. The mercenaries are private citizens and do not work within the jurisdiction of the minister of defence, so, it is undoubtedly possible that the minister might not have been informed about the developments. It was also said that the recruitment was clandestine. Still remember when Nigeria wanted to buy weapons in SA illegally, they did not inform anyone other that their claim that they addressed it with the presidency. So, this seems as their modus operandi to only talk to the first citizen. The minister of police did not know anything about the development and hence the money meant to buy weapons illegally was confiscated without Zuma having to interfere. |

andrewza:The African invented the laser but yet the boer monkeys are trying to take credit for the black mans creation in the usual white way, I commend that African for his creation and I condemn that African for allowing those dirty Europeans to speak on camera as though it was their creation. Typical southie slave mentality. Zulus of 400 years ago may have been big and bad but the Zulus of 2015 are slaves and cowards. 2 Likes |

DieVluit:NO! This map shows northerners are uneducated ...yet Naijas GDP has far surpassed Zululands' GDP, so who is the real slave? If you Zulu kaffirs weren't so uneducated your GDP would have probably be the same as ours or even more because of the infrastructure built by the pink people but sadly for you, Zulus are the worlds dumbest humans, SA will never catch Naija again. If we had stable electricity we would already be a 1trillion dollar economy. 1 Like |

ChukwuCantDie: Feel free to bring different numbers for 2015 - you'll still lose - like you so clearly have lost already. It follows that when there are slaves, there will also be slave masters. In Nigeria, there are tons of slaves - oppressed by their own people. Nothing could be more stûpid. http://allafrica.com/stories/201503030951.html Fuel scarcity gets worse nationwide.

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/amid-rooivalk-restart-talks-denel-eyes-new-platform-403763/ 18 September 2014 Amid Rooivalk restart talks, Denel eyes new platform An ongoing discussion about restarting Rooivalk production includes an option to design a new platform based on technology developed for South Africa’s indigenous attack helicopter, says Denel Group chief executive Riaz Saloojee. Last March, South African defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula publicly expressed interest in restarting a Rooivalk production line that has gone dormant since 2007 after delivering only 12 aircraft, but offered no details on timing or funding.Those discussions between the Ministry of Defence and Denel Group are ongoing, Saloojee says. The talks have also broadened to consider additional options, including development of a new aircraft.Asked if Denel would restart production of the Block 1F standard of the Rooivalk that entered service in 2011, Saloojee instead described the ongoing talks as taking a broader view.“We’re not sure if it could be a new platform completely based on the same technology,” Saloojee says. “We don’t know. But definitely we are discussing a roadmap going forward.” Saloojee declined to define a minimum number of orders that would be required to justify relaunching Rooivalk production or starting a new development programme.“We are in analysis phase at the moment. We are looking at the feasibility not only from a manufacturing perspective but also a market perspective – what is the investment that is going to be required over what period. So all of those decisions need to be considered before a decision is taken,” he says. The Rooivalk was launched in 1984 by a predecessor company of Denel called Atlas Aircraft Corporation during the apartheid era, when sanctions limited the country’s access to weapons systems. It leaned heavily on the engine and dynamic components designed for South Africa’s Oryx helicopter, which includes elements of the Puma and Super Puma aircraft.The Rooivalk programme, however, was delayed as South Africa shifted suddenly into the post-apartheid era 10 years later. The aircraft finally entered service in 2011 with weapon system and gearbox upgrades developed to meet the Block 1F standard.The aircraft was deployed in a combat situation for the first time in 2013. A South African unit assigned to a United Nations peacekeeping force deployed the Rooivalk against artillery positions of the March 23 Movement, a rebel army in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that had shelled civilians.“We’re saying we’ve got this technology, we’ve got this platform, surely,” says Saloojee. “There must be a roadmap going forward in order to secure the technology and the future capabilities that we plan.” |

Some interesting things were said yesterday by Denel regarding Rooivalk production (SA FM live broadcast). Looks like above story has developed even further since it's printing. |

agaugust: Augustus - if you wish to argue with SIPRI, an internationally recognized and respected arms deal monitor, then that is your prerogative. The fact's are this: - Deal for 236 Badger IFV's has been finalized - 222 will be built in South Africa, with 70% of each being South African components - 14 Badger will be built in Finland. - Licensed production has been finalized and the facility to build the vehicles has been built The deal is done, the money paid, the vehicals on their way. Proof money has been paid: Denel receives a 10-year, $900 million production contract for the 5 variants of the Hoefyster New Generation Infantry Combat System http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/denel-patria-building-south-africas-next-ifv-03317/ It makes me sad that you are not mature enough to deal with these facts. |
