Why SA military personnel are so out of shape now? I am from Brazil, and worked in Mozambique in 1994-5. In that time, I saw also military personnel from SA and They were very fit.
Good comprehension because s the second most powerful nation in the world both economically and militarily so that great. Thank you for your acknowledging it
We don't want militarism anymore, all we did with it was cause pain to others and warcrimes, south africa has made friends with most enimus, we can have peace diplomatically now,
In my day even the brass was streamlined. Not one CO or higher with a boep. I remember one RSM who was a bit podgy but boy, when you go an a route march you will know about it. Normally called a "route run" or 'n klein draffie".
@Unati Noah Shame. Without the SADF there would be no SANDF. Your are on the shoulders of Giants. The current govt is a bad joke. They have no credibility. Corruption and ineptitude rule the roost at every govt institution including the SANDF. The SADF under sanctions and embargoes stopped the Cubans, Swapo, Russians, Angolans, Bulgarians, Romanians, East Germans at the Kunene river and created a buffer zone in Angola. The enemy never made it across and they were forced to enter into negotiations. The numbers killed on each side and the equipment captured tell the true story.
@Unati Noah We need to start by not discriminating based on race, religion, ethnicity etc. I know many young white people with very good grades that do not get positions in universities in our country yet their fellow matriculants of a darker hue with lower grades are getting positions at universities. A member of my family couldnt get a place in an SA govt university due to quotas and applied to a university in Europe, was given a place and even was awarded a bursary. I have a friend whose son went to a prestigeous high school and matriculated with excellent results but cannot get into a university due to racist quotas whereas his friends of colour have no problem even when their grades were significantly lower. I was told to my face that there were too many white people in the organisation where I worked before having my contract not renewed. That is fine but the contract was given to an anc bigwig who knows nothing about the specialist job. I was told that I have no political capital. When the police reaction to a white farmer giving a black intruder a slap before sending him off his farm is compared to the police inaction when there is a murder of a white farmer and the rape of his wife by a black gang, one can only conclude that there is institutionalized racism. When we look at the upcoming Expropriation without Compensation and how it is targeting white people and their land while ignoring the facts. The facts are that the land claims commission has already dealt with 93% of the registered land claims and over 90% of the successful claimants choose money not land then we can only conclude that this is a racist land grab not grounded in fact but rather feelings. We are being discriminated against and farmers in particular are being ethnically cleansed. Julius Malema said that they are not calling for the slaughter of whites at least not yet. Imagine if a white person made that comment. He also said most Indians are racist, not all but most. We are obviously judged differently according to race. This is not what I signed up for when I chose to stay in SA. This is not what I want for my children. We should be allowed to debate the past logically, honestly and with fervor but we should not discriminate against our children as is happening under the current regime. Until that happens I have no love for this place. This regime and state have made enemies of minorities. I used to be a member of the SACP as I believed in socialism and equality, but saw what was happening in the anc and sacp. The voting public supported zuma and his deputy cyril even though everybody knows that they were corrupt and have brought ruin to this country. They voted for the anc even after hearing so much about how the anc have stolen billions if not trillions from its voting public. How bad must things get before they vote the anc out. And even then who will they vote for.
What a circus, put it on South Africa's funniest home video's. Will get first price. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
O Lord help us ..wonder whom they want to fight with
Do not look at the obesity of the soldiers as a negative. The upside is that it requires fewer rations to be taken into the field whilst in combat.
Agree,it must cost a fortune to feed this obese army.I hope CR gives them discount at KFC.

They had been training in order to fight the apartheid system, since there was no war they stopped training and all became fat
GO back to the history of this country and figure it out for yourself
Understand the dynamics of South African history pre 1994 before you pass aspirations on an organization and its people.
@@amukelanimaseko4670 ooh ok i thought a military is always ready for combat... i get it lmao
they fought against communism just to let you know, and that 20 years war was for noting because now the government is controlled by communists'
the SANDF MUST just consider height again imaging watching a soldier carrying a gun that looks longer than a body
i was wanted to be one of those people but i didn't make it
Salutation to all Lt Generals,Generals, Colonels and the platoons, Soldiers and our Fallen Heroes and Heroines Forward we go.
Diabetes kills off the heroes. Thats the new war. A gift from the west. Junk food
They inherited a once great army and now look like made in China. What training did these managers go through?

We need the SADF back
It will NEVER comeback even if you cry; the killers will never rule this land again…
Salute LT Gen L Yam SANDF.
But they have big stomachs,i don't think they can fight😂

I love my country and the way it handles thing,to prove that we are not depending on whites.
I thought your country ended Apartheid. I see it is alive and well. hmmmm
Eish i don't know hw the recruiting ws done the hight of the soldiers and the fitness is zero
C'est ça l'armée sud africaine ?
Ce n'est peux etre pas que cela non. Ce sont juste quelques hommes dans une parade.
0.47 What a disrespectful soldier. He cannot even march. Why on earth was it in command?
Bahahahhah!! 🤣
