Is been confirmed!!!!!
It was the German Navy that fired on the fishing boat!!!

The original article was in German!!
I used Google Translate to translate the text into english thus it sounds abit re.tarded,Those who understand German are welcome to read the original article:

http://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/man-konnte-das-schiesspulver-riechen-deutsches-kriegsschiff-versenkt-beinahe-motorboot_id_4576060.html

Translated(Quite a few language errors):

"An uninvolved fishing boat came into the crosshairs of a German warship. Off the coast of South Africa has targeted a frigate and almost sunk the boat. The cause was apparently a mix up in an exercise.
A warship of the Bundeswehr has almost sunk a fishing boat during an exercise in South Africa. As the "Mirror", citing a German bloggers, as well as the South African news portal "iol.com" reports. The boat was just missed at the accidental attack.
Bundeswehr does not respond to radio message
When naval "Good Hope" frigates "Hessen" and were "Karlsruhe" involved. One of the ships should have shot the innocent fishing boat, so "mirror". The warship is eight meters long have confused "Arctic" with a shared drone to shoot the Bundeswehr.
The fishing boat was then given an emergency call. Although the Bundeswehr terminated the fire, but responded to the statements of states that "mirror" not on the radio message. In an interview, the captain of the "Arctic" by three bullets spoke. 10 to 15 meters, they should have taken alongside the boat. "That was so close that we could smell the gunpowder and have been ringing my ears," the magazine quoted the captain."
funny enough south Africans aren't denying the incident. Take a look at this South African forum, only the e-SADF here are looking for controversy.

Nigeria had NO mandate to deploy 15,000 troops with tanks, artillery, jet fighters, landing ships and frigates to Liberia and Sierra Leone, Nigeria just did it with $10 billion cash cost to Nigerians , your South Africa will NEVER pay that sacrifice to help any African brother that is suffering.....reason why SANDF ran away from C.A.R and you people give excuse that you have no mandate to save human lives in a helpless and dying African nation.

You Southies won't enter heaven o ! You no fear God one bit !
.
The SANDF is deployed by its political masters, the withdrawal of troops from CAR was was agreeing to the regional block's request and the fact that bi-national agreement between SA and CAR expired the moment Bozize's government fell.

Liberia and Sierra Leone? Who was thee strong enemy there?

An enemy that a single SANDF battalion can deal with.

You deep sh1t liar. Your troops are issued 7 rounds of Mags top. I have enough evidence of SANDF troops running around with 3/4 mags.

A Nigerian soldier under fire can get fire support from the M.G, 12.7mm, 30mm or 30mm from the sky.

It's one of the perks of having over 40 MI-35 Helicopters to call in.

Dicon Produces camel backs which are issued to troops or can be gotten from various military stores.

Nigeria is still in Sudan.

Nigerian army stopped massive genocidal murder and massive räpe of black civilians in Sudan. The war is Sudan is over, Nigeria stopped it with military muscle and spilled blood of Nigerian soldiers soaked the thirsty dry land of Sudan....while South African army was watching the show on Tv from safe distance in Pretoria city
.
No, Nigeria withdrew her troops.

The war in Sudan is not over.

What muscle?

15 000 troops to deal with an enemy poorly equipped and hungry?

Which SA mercinaries defeated under a short time.

3 mags, 5 mags, all will be used up in sustained fire fight, soldiers will still run out of ammo, the key is supply chain for every unit, even battalions on frontline run out of ammunition.

Army field supply chain is more important than extra 2 mags per man. War can last for years, battles can last for months
.
5 mags will run out within 10 minutes of a intense fire fightm

What supply chain?

There's big difference between having some half decayed nuclear materials and having a real nuclear weapon that can be deployed in war.

Today, South Africa has NO nuclear weapon to harm any enemy

No, it is stored and used for research at times.

German source is a nonsense crappy crap. I thought someone has already picked holes in that. But here's what: Anthony Day was fired upon by a naval warship. He tried to radio the warship but no luck. So he got the radio of the coast guard or something who then radioed the commander of the warship. The commander admitted the error and said it was done in error


Now question is which naval commander did the radio folks communicated with?

All possibilities point to the SAN because they would be the first choice of contact naturally.

Secondly given how south Africa love Hollywood-ing their SANDF, they would have rushed and print the news of how the German navy goofed and how they themselves are expert.

That's why your own very forums in South Africa are never in doubt who the incompetent navy is.

But a nigerian-conscious e-sandf like you folks will always bring in controversies.

Enough nuclear explosive to fuel half a dozen bombs, each powerful enough to obliterate central Washington or most of Lower Manhattan, is locked in a former silver vault at a nuclear research center near the South African capital.

Technicians extracted the highly enriched uranium from the apartheid regime’s nuclear weapons in 1990, then melted the fuel down and cast it into ingots. Over the years, some of the cache has been used to make medical isotopes, but a theoretical ability to regain its former status as a nuclear-weapons state.
485 pounds remains, and South Africa is keeping a tight grip on it.

That gives this country — which has insisted that the United States and other world powers destroy their nuclear arsenals — a theoretical ability to regain its former status as a nuclear-weapons state.

Gives the Gripen pilot to attack outside your radar angular coverage.


Gives the F-7 pilot advantage to attack from outside Gripen radar angular coverage, by flying 2 km higher than Gripen with superior max altitude advantage of F-7 over the Gripen, then from inside Gripen's radar blind spot F-7 fires 35 km range BVR missiles and demölishes ALL South African Gripen jets then Mandela's investment is wasted in minutes !
