First female officer to command battalion returns home

Lieutenant Colonel Tiisetso Sekgobela is the SANDF's first-ever woman to command a fighting battalion in peace enforcement operations in the DRC.

"I believe that if you are passionate and loving what you doing on a daily basis, it's possible. For me, it is for my daughter to see nothing is impossible. As an African woman, as an African child, you can dream and reach whatever you want. Definitely, more women are needed in these types of situations."

How many she lost on protection of mining in republic of Congo? Hope one day all this beautiful souls commanders will realise that they have to command themselves than the money

Welcome back Colonel, Soo proud of U and your guys!

Now we need a first all female battalion to fight jihadists, rebels and criminals.

Functionally she is Infantry and her rank qualifies her to command Infantry
