Dumb useless S.African Army: SA’s DR Congo deployment amid further deaths – My Comments
(005875.811-:E-000062.43:N-AC:R-SU:C-30:V)
[A few weeks ago on bill boards here in SA, I saw them asking the question: "Are our troops SAFE in the DRC (formerly Zaire)". I laughed so much. South Africa must be the only country in the world where we know our soldiers are so useless. I will publish that article separately. This is a wonderful sign. I find it wonderful that these Blacks who want to rule South Africa now find that they don't like tasks like going and fighting in other wars. I think it is so funny. Yes, you babies, you're in an adult world now. Jan]
Freedom Front Plus (FF+) leader Pieter Groenewald maintains the deaths of four South African soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in a 15-day period could, at least partially, be laid at the door of “dangerously low” morale.
Referring to two deaths and three wounded in a mortar attack on a SAMIDRC (Southern African Development Community Mission in DRC) base on 14 February and a SA National Defence Force (SANDF) personnel murder/suicide on 29 February, the former Commando officer said details around the incidents were “vague”.
Going on what has been made public by the SANDF Directorate Corporate Communication (DCC) and Department of Defence (DoD) Head of Communication (HoC), Siphiwe Dlamini, Groenewald noted “if” what was made public is correct, it indicates morale among these soldiers [deployed in DRC] is dangerously low”.
“They do not understand why their lives are being endangered in a conflict that has nothing to do with South Africa,” he said.
Contributors to the perceived low morale range from boots, said as far back as 2018, to be not suitable for ground conditions encountered in the central African country to a lack of aerial cover. While this does not extend to airlift to move soldiers from South Africa to eastern DRC, in one instance pertaining to the SAIMDRC deployment said to be due to aircraft non-availability, defence analysts and observers note South African soldiers deployed continentally use older equipment and are not properly supported.
One example is UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for reconnaissance and intelligence purposes with armed rotorcraft in the form of South Africa’s Rooivalk combat support helicopter to provide top cover for ground forces. The boots issue was addressed at the same time the new work dress was taken into service last year.
Elaborating on the conflict having “nothing to do with South Africa”, Groenewald points to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration advocating peace for Ukraine at the same time as “dragging” Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for perceived genocide against Palestinians as possible contributors to low morale.

I discuss the impossible achievements of Hitler & the NATIONAL SOCIALISTS. Why do we fight? Hitler & the Germans were already experienced soldiers whereas we are 21st century geek boys.
JEWS KILLED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS, BUT SCREECH ABOUT 6 DEAD
The Jews have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in the last year, and here they whine and cry about 6 dead of their own and they make out like this is a big story.
Video: How America built UFOs
This video is about military secrecy. We study a documentary from 2011 when a lot of Area 51 information was declassified and when some people, including a high level CIA official were allowed to speak.I discuss my time when I was young when I was in the South African Navy and I handled Secret and Top Secret files and how these things work in real life.
