Between 1993 and 1996, the SA Defence Force, uMkhonto we Sizwe , Azanian People’s Liberation Army and the Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei forces were integrated into a new SA National Defence Force via a carefully negotiated process agreed to by all. By the end of the integration period though, only 15 416 MK and Apla personnel had actually reported to the assembly points.
There was a clear divide, however, between the MK members who had joined earlier in the struggle and trained in other countries, and a large number of self-defence unit members who were hastily recruited in SA in the final stages of the struggle who received minimal training. A post-integration audit was conducted, finding some minor issues but not enough to render the entire process illegitimate.
Importantly, the Act defined veterans as including SANDF veterans and members of the former liberation armies, regardless of integration status.

MK Vets say government overreacted to ‘hostage situation’Disbanded military veterans association says government used ‘excessive force to resolve a nonviolent situation’ These MK clowns should be disbanded and outlawed. An ill-disciplined combatant is a criminal. Just imagine if a group of Boer militants took a minister hostage? Utterly inexcusable and the law must take it cause to prevent future occurrence. Cause and effect, one party always objects. “What I do wrong”
