“Similarly, when attending the department of international relations and cooperation heads of mission conference in April 2022, I received many complaints from our diplomatic fraternity about the performance of our defence attaché corps,” she said.
The IFP’s Narend Singh said the defence force was a shadow of its former self, citing budget austerity measures and the loss of professional career military personnel. While some MPs called for soldiers and military veterans to be properly remunerated, Modise admitted the compensation of employees portion of the budget was a grave priority area which needs to be addressed.
We knew that a long time ago! How come all of a sudden the surprise 😂
Net daar, then someone wanna use 22mil for a flag pole, the other one want to donate 50mil to Cuba, Re channel the money where the country need it please, New slogan should be ''MY Country First'
Just admit that you are paralyzed by incompetence. Your failures are so embarrassing.
If you divert military funding to Cuban bogus military training that we don't need you'll find yourselves wanting. If this country fails you all should be exiled to Cuba
Did she not allude to sheltered employment Richard_Spoor ?
Not news to South Africans - SANDF deployment in recent months has been a disaster as too SAPS. Suggest we call in the Cubans to take over these functions?
Then stop stealing all the money!
JoanBegley Ok
Who is she going to blame Apartheid?
My only prayer is that the voting public could wake up and realise that the only solution to our multiple problems as a country is by voting ANC out of government. That way we would be affording it space to sort its internal problems.
Rename the defence force and the problem will disappear.
Mxm useless anc gvt sies but there z money r 22million for a flag?
We do not have a military, nor a government....thanks to amasela ANC
Respectfully, throwing money at the ANC's incompetence will not solve the problem. We have ample hard evidence
We do not have even ONE aeroplane to do offshore long distance patrolling, protection of our seas and coastline or long distance recognisance anymore. No prospect of replacement either.
Military fleet was all over Mzansi during COVID-19 pick and after
There is too much corruption at SANDF
CyrilRamaphosa Another disaster thanks to MYANC ! Does any Department actually function properly?
Oh Ruth…
It only South Africa our land where we would expose our military weakness. I mean we knew with Mabena but some of us were hoping he was an outlier. 'Disappoint me again, I knew it' should be our militaries motto.
But SANDF spent R millions on nonsense medicines from Cuba...
PresidencyZA ParliamentofRSA CyrilRamaphosa ....it is about time to increase the budget of SANDF_ZA
We are at risk
We had noticed.
What military?
We used to have one of the best military in the world.
With ISIS threatening our borders?
Because all the money is stolen by ANC Ministers.
Better sharp up those diplomacy skills then.
Wasted money on stupid vaccines from Cuba that were unusable ! Your own government now donating millions to Cuba - nauseating obsession !
Waste money on stupid vaccines from Cuba that were unusable ! Your own government now donating millions to Cuba - nauseating obsession !
And who's fault is it?
A regional military giant reduced to a chipmunk with boots
TF is she doing?🤨
Not another failed institution under ANC governance?
Gee I wonder why 🙄
Bathong how can we talk publicly that we are exposed and week? Yoo mna I am traumatized. Oro..... I think some of the things are confidential until we get a plan. Thata that 22 mil ya arts we can't have play money whilst defence is not defense.
what then about the cubans?
