agaugust: Boko Haram was defeated by only 5 South Africans in Nigeria. The HIV sick South Africans trained your elite force to handle weapons and fight BH effectively using HIV tricks. The HIV sick South Africans flew gunships for you and defeated the enermy on your behalf. SANDF is more than 100X effective than your new masters who helped you to defeat BH. 4 Likes |

MikeCZAR: The newspaper reports that field commanders had pleaded for armoured personnel carriers two months before the ambush, that they had asked for sniper rifles, Rooivalk attack helicopters, Oryx transport helicopters and a reconnaissance aircraft - none of which were supplied. SA Air Force aircraft were also put on standby but due to financial constraints the Gripens were not armed with weapons with an attack capacity. SANDF soldiers reportedly struggled on the ground due to lack of logistics and air support. |

MikeCZAR: 1. Your Troops had no business been in the CAR in the first place. 2. Zambia is no CAR. SA Air Force aircraft were also put on standby but due to financial constraints the Gripens were not armed with weapons with an attack capacity. Your Gripens could not carry bombs because the SAAF is broke. It is very clear. A fighter can carry 2-3 additional fuel tanks and still carry bombs on the extra pylons. 3. You deployed no C-130's, as you have only 3 in operational service. Hence your constant use of charter. 4. You don't have an air tanker full stop, no if's. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Im talking about what happened after the Battle of Bangui not before! Gripens and Rooivalk as you have read, were deployed in the wake of the attack on our Soldiers. Pic: 4 Gripens in Zambia, armed with Air to Ground missiles Jln115, after the battle your troops fled the CAR. You don't deploy assets in a country when the troops who need it aren't in the country. Your Gripens were not armed, neither is Zambia a staging area. |

mzilakazi:Another failed attack! Just as we expected it. I'm certain that hundreds of BH/ISWA fighters died in the aggressive confrontation that saw them forcefully repelled.Maiduguri can never fall,it is an impossibility considering the high concentration of sophisticated military hardwares and highly trained security personnels,including the most feared field operatives of the DSS,SBS,JSTF that have been stationed there. |

Henry120:Anti- South African statements! 1. The South African and CAR goverment had a bilateral agreement in which the SANDF was to train FACA soldiers among other things since around 2008. A. When Seleka advanced South the SA deployed a protection force for the teams already on the ground. 2. SAAF Gripens carried fuel tanks. When deploying to increase their range. Munition and pods were carried in a C-130. Citation: John Morgan, a South African working in Zambia, was amazed while at Ndola airport on Saturday waiting for his flight and four Gripen fighter aircraft landed. Shortly thereafter, a South African C-130 Hercules cargo plane with the Gripens ground crew also landed there. http://www.saairforce.co.za/news-and-events/1196/sa-was-ready-for-more 3. They were deployed to the DRC. A neighbouring country. Citation : The four Gripens were noticed on Saturday at Ndola airport in the north of Zambiawhen flying out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) http://www.saairforce.co.za/news-and-events/1196/sa-was-ready-for-more 2 Likes 1 Share |

MikeCZAR: There is nothing Anti-South African in those comments! 1. Whatever the disputed reason why SANDF troops were on the ground, it is widely believed, SANDF troops in the CAR were there to protect the mining assets of top level members of the ANC. 2. The SANDF sent no protection team for your stranded troops in the CAR. The had to resort to begging french forces for medical supplies as the troops were heavily under-resourced. 3. Your supposed staging area is over 2000km from where they help is actually needed. You have been lied to once again by your government. The reports are clear, SAAF Gripens over 2000km from there supposed target had no armaments because the SAAF was broke, still is. 4. Provide evidence your Gripens were in the DRC, credible evidence. Not opinion pieces by some SANDF fan boys who wish the old SADF days would come back. 1 Like |

Henry120: Even journalists would have written much better lies than the garbage you wrote above. SANDF is not NAF that buys weapons when they are under pressure. Your comments are always misinformed and do not make sense at all. Do you mean that SAAF is that broke such that it cannot be able just to pay for the fuel that will keep four highly armed gripens to Zambia? You are kidding me boy. We see gripens flying in every singld SANDF event held. SAAF will kill you for going after the lies of Journalists. You are crazy.

[size=13pt] mzilakazi:[/size] [size=13pt] What? SANDF ? You got robbed of your heavy weapons by local rebels in Burundi ![]() ![]() ![]() SANDF massively robbed of heavy weapons in Burundi ! October 31 2006 at 04:31am By Karyn Maughan MRAPs and Automatic Grenade Launchers looted from Army base by rebels Burundi bungle leaves SANDF chiefs red-faced South African National Defence Force troops were sent to Burundi to keep the peace - but it seems the poor management of equipment and the theft of South African weapons that land in rebel hands is fuelling the conflict. Sources have confirmed that millions of rands worth of vehicles, guns, ammunition and bombs, and supplies worth over R27-million have vanished from the South African army base in Burundi over the last four years. The missing vehicles are believed to include several Casspirs; a Mazda ambulance; Isuzu bakkies; one firefighting truck; Landrover Defenders; trucks; a water tanker; a Yamaha motorcycle; forklift trucks; Toyota Condor vans; several cars; a tractor; and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The Star has also established that among the weapons missing are 40 mortar bombs; 54 R-4 rifles; four R-5 rifles; a sniper rifle; two 12-gauge shotguns; eight machineguns; eight pistols; and 27 grenade launchers. A 15 KVA generator is also understood to be missing. While army authorities have previously blamed poor accounting practices for the losses, an investigation by The Star has found that on one occasion at least 50 missing SANDF mortar bombs - out of 80 bombs stolen using an army-owned Land-Rover - were found in a FNL Phalipe-Hutu rebel group camp in Kiriri, Burundi. The FNL has been blamed for a series of mortar attacks on the Burundian capital, Bujumbura, in which at least 300 people are known to have died. The Star has also learnt that a case of ammunition - part of a total 1,5-million SANDF-owned rounds that went missing in Burundi - was found in the possession of Burundian government forces in 2004. As yet, the SANDF has failed to reveal how many millions of rands worth of weapons, vehicles and supplies it has lost to theft or mismanagement. Disturbingly, it seems the SANDF has no idea how many weapons are in its possession. Now, following a scathing Auditor-General's report into the Department of Defence's "inadequate" and "deficient" accounting practices, the Democratic Alliance was due to ask the Defence Ministry in parliament today to address claims that about 70 army vehicles, over 110 weapons and items of equipment, and millions of rands worth of supplies have disappeared from the South African base in Burundi. Minister of Defence Mosiuoa Lekota, who has admitted. http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/burundi-bungle-leaves-sandf-chiefs-red-faced-1.300893#.VVNF99JViko Africa's worst performing army of all time is SANDF ![]() ![]() ![]() .

agaugust: I have even lost the count of how many weapons BH has forcefully robbed from Nigerian Army bases, not stolen but physically robbed in Nigerian soil from their most trusted soldiers. Do you mean AU property? SANDF defeated all Burundi rebels and claimed back all which they have stolen. All that were stolen while they were under the protection of Burundian government forces. Get the facts right. The mighty US army lost over 200000 heavy weapons in Iraq. Theft is theft, it was always there right at the beginning and will always remain forever. http://rt.com/usa/202707-afghanistan-us-military-equipment/ http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/08/06/iraq.weapons/index.html?iref=nextin 2 Likes |

How many soldiers did Nigeria lose at the vicious hand of BH? Nigerian military would never reveal that information because it would be a disgrace and disaster. The gripens were heavily armed with air-to-ground missiles as shown in that picture. They were there to stand guard for our safe exit in CAR, after the parliament decided to withdraw. They remained on stand-by to counter any action that the rebel would contemplate to take against us. 1 Like |

Henry120: We have many Mr Barlows in SANDF and even those who were his superiors are still with us. SANDF has many consultants and reservist force comprising of former members of SADF who fought in Angola including fighter pilots. We have just a reservist forces capacity that can take on Nigeria and wipe it from the surface of the earth. With regard to fuel, your information is outdated because it was addressed long ago when the treasury intervened. The SAAF was then offered a special budget to address the problem. That problem was solved within few months and is now finito. 1 Like |

Henry120: Nigeria which lost approximately 2000 soldiers to BH as compared to SA which only lost 15 soldiers is seen as unbeaten before your eyes. This is really ludicrous because SANDF was merely playing defensive role and had no intention to pick up a fight with the rebels. We couldn't of course take an offensive position against a poorly armed rebels fighting for the cause that we have no interest. Foreign militaries according to law are not supposed to meddle between a coup. Our job was to give Bozize the protection he needed and train his armies which later turned against us. The people we have trained in SA and in CAR respectively. The fact is no matter what, but we never lost the battle. We achieved our objectives of saving the life of Bozize and we did it excellently well, even at the expense of the lives of our comrades.

mzilakazi:Shekau is a fixed name for any leader of BH,If Shekau III were to die today,his replacement would also bear the name 'Shekau'. For example: if the said 'replacement's name were to be originally Mohammed Al-Khalifa,on assuming leadership of the sect,the name would simply change to [s]Mohammed Al Khalifa Bin Abu-bakr Ibin Shekau[/s].Such is the way of islamic terrorists.Do you now understand?,yes?,good!. We also cannot rule out the assumption that it may be his 'doubles' that were killed in NA raids,because frankly,it doesnt make sense that shekau accompanied his troops to assault an heavily guarded target such as Konduga,leaders of terrorist groups are always known to be highly insecure and paranoid,it is more in shekau's style to allow his men do the heavy fighting and then 'occupy' the town before he dares to personnally venture into such a town. |
