The ANC in parliament has praised soldiers for what it called “simple measures to discipline community members”.

“The reality we have witnessed over the few days is that our people find it difficult to comply with the regulations and the SANDF is assisting them to comply. The videos making rounds on social media attest that in most, if not all, of those videos, it is our people who are assisted to be disciplined in order to save their lives.”

They are not supposed to be beating people, but the light punishment like frog-jumps, that is not a violation. They are just assisting our people to be disciplined. Mmutle was adamant, however, that there was nothing wrong with soldiers forcing people to do physical exercises as punishment. Mmutle said critics have to be cautious of the role soldiers are meant to play and should not allow the authority of soldiers to be undermined because they aren't allowed to do certain things

“They know that they must act within the law at all times and that they must not cause harm to any of our people,” he said. Mmutle said they were monitoring this to ensure that they live up to their constitutional mandate to preserve the lives of South Africans and offer humanitarian relief during the 21-day lockdown due to the spread of Covid-19.

WATCH: Police and SANDF force Soweto residents to do hard exercise as punishmentThe pushups and squats have amused many, while others have expressed concern about it being an abuse of authority that could lead to further authoritarianism. They were supposed to moer them. Push ups alone weren't enough Do whites do not get punished like this. Why black people enjoy oppressing each other? A fit body means a strong immune system which you need to fight Corona. I can see where SANDF is going with this. Brilliant plan 😂

KZN granny raped, strangled by men pretending to be SANDF soldiersPolice are investigating a case of murder after an elderly woman was allegedly raped and strangled by men who pretended to be members of the South African National Defense Force. After everything that's been going around lately, I don't believe these were fake soldiers. The virus won't kill us but these so called Police and Soldiers will. Most probably in the army uniform and how the hell did they get hold of that. Maybe they were real soldiers. The sandf are spaza soldiers
