More than 200 military vehicles, including Nyalas, trailers and other military equipment, were burnt to ashes after a fire broke out at the military’s Wallmansthal vehicle depot, north of Pretoria. According to the Sinoville Firefighting Association, which was first on the scene, the fire broke out just before 7pm on Thursday.
“An officer from the army base called to say the base was on fire, and the section where they park vehicles, and they needed our assistance very urgently. We immediately dispatched members with a fire engine, and they arrived there at about 7.15pm,” said association chairperson JP Botha. The team was later joined by the Apies River rural fire protection association, and they battled the blaze until about 1am.“This is a tragedy if you look at how many vehicles were burnt. We brought the fire under control in the early hours of today [Friday] but we have left the vehicles to burn until they burn out. They are not posing any threat to human life.”
Malenga__ It can only be the work if MKMVA. The renegade army. It is either the State security agency is part working with them or scared of them. I still think they are responsible for the whole acts of arson happening around the country.
A good tender is coming into someone's pocket to replace them.
😦
Westerners will destroy and sabotage South Africa Military and Security to keep it week so that in the event of Land Invasion by Blacks the Boers will win the War!!!
Cash injection coming up
Bezihleli zingasebenzi niyaythanda drama
Important to state that these were scrap vehicles awaiting disposal
how the hell does that happen..., and it's not the first time; bizarre
Tenders loading.....
mpotse20 Didn't realise we had that many to be honest.
So our army couldn’t be ready stop stop this fire? Talk about being caught with its pants down, I shiver with the thought of defending us in a real attack . Will we survive🤦🏿♂️
Why the reporter used an old pic with old vehicles, only God knows. Times live reporting skills are very poor, I’m surprised they didn’t find a way to pin Zuma to this incident
Can you imagine these okes fighting a war? Their spam would be spammed. 🙄
ntomb_1 Weeeee , ay okwalelizwe Nkosi Yami 🤔
I suspect a cadre needed a contract of buying military vehicles for the state or someone is planning something sinister worse than the recent civilian uprisings so called looting.😉
The tells a story. These trucks look like they’ve been standing there for ages. We’re they in use? It doesn’t appear so.
As a patriotic South African 🇿🇦. This real hit me so much hard 😭💔😢. May we vote 🗳 out MYANC
It a sign to act, basically they can't travel to a place of unrest.
Sabotage....
Ramaphosa is really collapsing our economy
Sabotage!!!?
RET FORCES infiltrated the army
anc do this to SA
This is disaster
Welcome to the world of incompetence, indecision and reckless irresponsibility.
You took koo beans from a wrong house
In construction sector,we have safety officers,we do fire drill atleast twice a month for things like this,at Eskom power stations they have fire fighters stationed there,I'm asking myself if this is the case at SANDF?
Maintenance is something you spread on toast, right.
It's the tears of the poor people they took food from, next must be zondos house & ramaphosa
Hospitals on fire 🔥 , schools on fire 🔥 army base on fire 🔥 businesses on fire 🔥. But politicians are safe . Poor human settlements on fire 🔥 👀😢
Try something Else... Please
Fellow cadres, let us hurry and go chow the tenders to replace the burnt equipment 🤤
So military under attack
Who is mandated as accountable for Fire Safety Regs on this base 2021 approx 200 x military vehicles destroyed 2017 approx 83 x military vehicles destroyed Apparently all unused vehicles used for spares Who do we believe
Fire broke out REALLY!
This is either gross negligence or malicious intent. These things don't just happen
Mmmmmm what's de cause of the fire if someone may ask
AmandaBlackSA The Lord's work
Mkmva arsonists
You'll really want this country to be defenceless when you'll attack next year in June neh?!
Saze sasiphila isifuseki xem
200? Where the heck were the fire extinguishers? We taxpayers are going to be ripped off to replace someone's negligence.
Maybe they have not been paid for the last work they did during the first lockdown
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SANDF have no Nyalas.
That fire was maybe set on purpose because if they not happy they burn every thing
How is it possible 🤔 ....arrest all those in charge of the base for treason
Remember someone is going to get a tender to replace them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crippling them
There is no negligence here we are not children sth is cooking and if government is fast asleep we are in deep shit, ISIL is approaching with boarders porous like now I see no SA in the near future but another Afghanistan we waiting to see accountability sbd must account.
Hey wena, those were unused scraps beyond repair, written off
Fucken redundant equipment... SAY IT! pathetic headline
Now we can act, they wont be able to send the army on us. Unless those soldiers are gonna run grom Pretoria to cape town
Yeah, 200 is a lot of money, who gonna pay to replace those..?
_AfricanSoil you've done it again. This time you will be sentenced udilika jele.
SANDF knows as well as the people at the level govt know, kudlalwa ngathi la.
Uzozwa bazothini ke o Dom Kop...This have everything to do with Zuma..This is a results on 9 waisted years. Hei ngoba my President wakuthwala wakubeletha madoda..Sithule nje sibukele Films. Their best, rich, educated, not corrupt thumayena President wabo.
...and no-one is asking how bad the SANDF has become that they can have over 200 vehicles standing broken, unserviced and undrivable in a field...?
They wanna damage the army so they can cause more unrest around elections
The Taliban has better control of their military force than we do..
Hmmm 🤔
Who is burning the security vehicles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ayi SA is the biggest joke of all times
They wanted to buy new ones unfortunately those old one was destroyed by fire.
Is this the same base where criminals stole ammunition?,
a fire 'BROKE OUT' ? wonder if that is the truth!?
Zyakhala ke manje
No sinister motive
we all know this is internal sabotage and it's clear that orders came from top, the so called commanders... allegedly.
But those were scraps unused or damaged equipments
PetersWonderboy I wouldn't be surprised if it was done on purpose
Yhoo inzima lendlela
They busy searching baked beans in the shack, yet can't even fight fire. Since Cyril took over everything has turned to sh1t
Inside job.
The insurance company about to be bankrupt, 200 vehicles?
The insurance company be like
Aykhale
Robinfield19 Fire - destructive tool of choice by the devils children
Decommissioned !
Subcontractors to be invited soon, this was planned... There's no such
😂 😂 😂 This other media called News24 said thousands vehicles 🤣🤣🤣 there's no media in SA🤞
They are destroying some evidence of some sort... we are being fooled that the fire can destroy 200 vehicles without it being contained... we would b fools to believe such. SA is just a mafia state. Even Watson was destroyed in SA to can live again in England... mcim!!! SA...
Something is not right in SouthAfrica. Seems like these sabotaging of key infrastructure is not isolated. Someone is preparing to make SA ungovernable and our security agency is fast asleep at the wheel
Regime change....pending
At the same time that the SAn nation is distraught about the safety & security domestically&nationally, this is a tragic warning sign about the competence & credibility of the SANDF😳Whether the vehicles are old & unused or not, how is this type of carelessness even allowed⁉️🔥🙄
Why all of a sudden the buildings are torched? Every week there's a leading story about fire here & there. Even police investigations do not produce tangible results. SAPS crime intelligence should do their job. Go nkga tlhapi !!
It's no longer a natural fire? Which informal settlement, how many shacks burnt?
Replacement Tender loading... Followed by Refurbishment of railway infrastructure
This is alarming
Everything is burning under New Dawn
Sabotage
Abramjee Another display of the reckless inability of our armed forces
Insurrection 🤐
Abramjee Every thing the ANC touches turns into shit.
Abramjee They don't even have fire extinguishers ... what a mess... black managers useless
I am suspecting the forces in Mozambique. Destabilize then attack strategy is at play.
They don't want anything that reminds them of the previous govt
The propaganda media already plotting how to link this to Zuma. 4 years Ramaphosa in government, nothing changed,in fact everything is worse!
CyrilMustResign
Where is Ramaphosa?
Our ancestors working overtime to protect us from dictatorship ...
What If Edward Zuma is paying revenge
This is the work of the disgruntled members of the ANC, the so called instigators and insurrectionists
Sabotage
Insurgence at play here...
Sisekakeni!
Abramjee Purposefully fine, arson. Tenderpreneurs and what happens if there’s another civil riot? No vehicles .
PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa this can't be business as usual, whether it's old broken vehicles as reported its immaterial. Fact is fire broke out at National Key Point and this is a security threat, and by look of things emergency personnel were helpless to extinguishe the fire.
Abramjee The military is supposed to be trained in fire fighting. Incompetence
They should have been used to help the poor , so I guess we didn’t need them
Next thing violence will break out and we will see the deployment of UN forces stating the reason that we don’t have enough military vehicles kanti vele that was the whole plan from scratch to have UN here🙄🙄🙄

I thought these vehicles are fireproofed until this incident open my eyes
How does this happen? No fire fighting equipment? Somethings not burning right here!
Was the figures estimated..?😩
OMG! what is this..can the fat cat generals minister president explain this pure madness..are these ppl capable of governing & maintaining a country..can they protect & defend SAns..we have dummies in power I'm telling u
Is this the anger a certain family was talking about in the media?
Abramjee VOTE OUT ANC
Most of the trucks ther are old AF
Let Cyril deal with it, this is his lingering curse…
Abramjee Sabotage for sure , only in SA
That's probably equivalent to the entire Botswana or Lesotho army's equipment
Where were the people that are suppose to check if the place is OK.
This is insane madness
So, basically we have, what, 50 vehicles left then?
Abramjee What happened to the fire brigade that where there?
Cyril Ramaphosa mustfall. His administration looted PPE funds now is burning State Security assets.
Looting...
The longest surviving terminal ill Shabir Shaik & the ghosts of Mac Maharaj are TENDERISING for ZUMA…R2 trillion ARMS DEAL in the pipeline. Hehehe
Abramjee Zisakhala or kwenzakalani?
Real insurrection not the previous one.
Sh*thole. This is just part of a bigger plan and millions of rands are involved
Useless
Abramjee They are all scraped and decommissioned vehicles
Markant26582436 Banana Republic... 😴
A symbol of where we are now in a mindless autocracy. Our freedom up in flames.
Another way of looting. Soon they will advertise a tender for procurement of the burnt equipments.
kitmokoka Another insurrection🤷♀️
Abramjee Don’t worry the taxpayer will buy some more
Could UT be linked to recession Judgement of Pres JZ?
Something boiling
So vele the military is involved in political battles? I hope am being hyper for NO reason, and this arson was just serious negligence on the personnel
🙈🙈🙈
Abramjee
Abramjee Adonbilivit,anyway let me tool.
_DJCappuccino Insurance will pay right?
Abramjee All because they just didn’t cut the grass. Our government and its leaders are absolutely useless. Those in charge of the base should be fired. But PresidencyZA will just recycle them into other positions. CyrilRamaphosa the recycling king!
Abramjee We are suitably shocked🤣🤣🤣
Abramjee Tender for 10000 nyalas loading .m......
Abramjee So the where not alert
Abramjee Heads must roll. This is unacceptable!
I can't believe the army doesn't have a fire department I think it will make sense to have 1 as the deal with disasters as well.
Soldiers were complaining that Police did not arrive on Time😂😂😂😂😂
Weird, odd and suspicious...
There is something brewing...
When the people who are supposed to anticipate a strike from an enemy and possibly protect us. They fail to deal with fire
Mzansi for sure🤔
I just hope the insurance were up to date...
If ignorant was a person
Where is the accountability 🙄
Destroy, burn, loot and then blame others based on skin colour when we having nothing left…… Typical
New minister new tender...Newdawn new deals
They want to start all kinds of revolutions, but can't even start a damn lawnmower!!!

Tenders, tenders watch out
The Arms deal season 2 is loading. 🤞🤞
Q Just.s
What burns so hot
They talking about old trucks and nyalas that had mechanical problems since parked from the time of apartheid and they even not 500
Deliberate act to replace and steal to replenish Anc empty coffers.
Its a well planned action, a continuation of Anc infighting
Deliberate? Show of anger by the Zuma faction?
Someone better tell Cyril, or else he will be ‘shocked’ when he hears they can’t deploy the troops again..
200 😳😳😳😳
What would the military have done if they were under attack..phone the police station and fire brigade to get some help This just shows the abhorrent state of our capacity to defend our borders. The military runs on discipline and more discipline..this is grossly absent in SA
Not even a single hose pipe with water to get rid of the 🔥🔥 this was a well orchestrated mission so CR17 cousins would get a tender worth billions
Mos now we are exposed to any outside or inside attack, I think this is all planned
Marlaquan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tender for new vehicles ,fusek
Lockdown is finished. They can't walk to kick people
ANC kickback incoming on the new contract for the replacements.
Sabotage
Are we safe here
This country is a joke ANC turned this country into joke
I suspect something
Insurrection. Zizi please intervene. 😂😂😂😂
Is this a coincidence or what: since the KZN & Gauteng unrests, lately large infrastructures gets destroyed in fire, it was Christiana hospital, a factory in durban now Army vehicles.
SA needs to be careful..... What if i say it was done purposely? Something big is coming soon and soldiers won't be available around the country to help as they won't have transportation. Take note. New world order.
No Nkandla fire pool there? Where was Comrade Carl Niehaus and his army? They could have saved the vehicles 🤣
UN military to be deployed in the name of this .
😳😳😳😳😳😳 comrades are going to be rich from this.
Denel has ran out of work🤷🏿♂️
Useless!
Let's take advantage, they don't have nyalas😂😂😂😂😂
This article is misleading dated 17 September 2017
But you'll can report lies. The fire didn't broke out inside.
Little fires everywhere.
🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊
They are disarming the government, be careful everyone.
Really!!!!
Sabotage,
Ja swaer...what does one say that has not been said a million times.
Surely if Military can't deal with fire, then how are they going to deal with terrorists
Must be the problematic Zulus again
New Dawn akere y’all say
SA is vulnerable. Should a war break out we're in for a high jump.
They were not in use look at the Pic aow
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get but with your help, many had been able to achieve their dreams and I am included. Thank you so much. Kristine_Thoms contact Mrs Kristine_Thoms via her handle above ☝️☝️ if you're interested to invest in Btc.
I would be curious te know whether the base even has a security officer overseeing occupational sfety standards.
I just want to know whether these vehicles were insured or not?😂😂
HlatseMoja 😳
This was orchestrated by the RET faction within MYANC ,they are targeting resources & infrastructure,this will enable them to unleash anarchy in the name of Jacob 'Butternut Head' Zuma,With state resources diminished they will have a better chance of seizing power once again.
Maybe its that lady she wanna cash in again 🤷🤷🤷
What else can u expect......
This Ramaphosa is the best president we have ever had, he's destroying everything he's charge of😂😂😂

What I have noticed this days under anc government building get burned, schools hospitals, hotels now military equipment. What are this evil deployed cadres trying to hide? And they won't find anything wrong cause they investigate themself. But one day is one day.
Let the insurance sort that out. They will then assign as task force to determine efficacy of the fire🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last month it was in potch military base
Dont they have military guards any more ?
Nothing says incompetent like those arseholes running this country from Loothuli House, this country is fucken fucked struu sGod, everything the comrats are burning down and south africans SI Thule nje, sbukele!

Must be all part of a plan....now someone can open up a massive overpriced tender for their cousin to replace everything.
MANYALA a direga feela ka pushong ya mahodu, a ANC
Tender will be out to buy truck's, in that way ama comrades will chow. 😂😂
These insurrectionists are everywhere, believe me!
Watch the South African government launch a 3 year enquiry into who did this just to not find them after spending $10 Million.
They were not in use anyway🤷🏾♂️
Ethnic mobilisation
Insurrection
Estimated cost R1 billion🧑🦯
