Pretoria - South African National Defence Force personnel have been deployed to support humanitarian efforts in Malawi and Mozambique, "currently facing serious floods", the SANDF said on Saturday.
The SANDF had committed air assets and personnel to supplement the joint inter-departmental, inter-agency, and multi-national efforts as authorised by President Cyril Ramaphosa, spokesperson Brigadier Mafi Mgobozi said in a statement "A team of 10 military health practitioners with search and rescue air assets were dispatched to Malawi on Saturday, 16 March 2019. Front elements were also deployed to Mozambique to assess the situation with the view to assist on the ground for humanitarian purposes," Mgobozi said.
How,sandf have no money in the kitty
Thn who must assist africans if other fellow africans dont want to
SpheDludla a very sickening situation.we pay tax in order for these soldiers to go help other in other countries. south africa has a very high numbet of undocumented foreign nationals. these SANDF members were supposed to be helping out country to rid itself off such people.
Funny SANDF can’t help own citizens,when trucks, animals are burning , they can’t help curb farm attacks, they can’t help when infrastructure is needlessly destroyed , but they can help outside the country to solve other nations’ problems. Are local issues not on the agenda ?
LoL I wish them Goodluck.
They’re not even trained! What the fuck?
I'm here to see the lackadaisicals negative comments
Have they taken them from repairing the sewerage plants they were fixing. To help fix the sewerage plants in Mozambique. What a joke.
