Barely a week after SANDF laid to rest their short lived Commander. How can such sloppiness claim to be peacekeeping in the former Zaire of Mobutu sese Seko? But perhaps we're truly a junk state. StateCapture was a natural consequence of state of slumber

I will never trust your news bulletins samkelo eff

Still not found?

I suspect the Guptas

A little slow

Ke December, they will rob money for holiday.

Inside move because who got entrance too? Not general public as much but those with titles. Polygraph test them so you Will the perpetrators.

Who stole the weapons.What was the intention of stealing military weapons? I am afraid this country is in nosedive and only the beat qualified trained and experienced pilot can save us.The police are incompetent and loose firearms daily and now the army is going the same route.

How did that happen?

It's an inside job... That's the corruption culture we have in this country

This country is in its chops

It true R4 rifles stolen people around communities showing of wit the guns and some doing crime with the guns black people in power destroy our country greedy money

It’s time to beef up security , you’ll ask questions later

Is this even a country mara heh?

Be on the look out for a lot more cash-in-transit heists courtesy of the SANDF this new year.

Someone must be fired 🔫

TeresaSibene National key point bayazenzela these days.. First it was Eskom now this 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

I heard they were found at Hammanskraal. I am not sure if it's true. I guess will wait for the official statement.

Here we go... Boko Haram is coming for us😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I can’t believe this....a place full of armies and they managed to steal guns

Our army is training the most dangerous criminals we will ever see in this country. I've said before, you cannot teach thousands of people how to handle guns and how to kill people and then just let them go jobless into society after 2 or 5 years. Ur creating 'rebels'.

If things like this happen in the Army,We are indeed doomed.. Army is the pride of the Country.. Those rifles are going to kill a lot of people.. They are definitely in the hands of the wrong people..

Achiii we are not safe shem

A bit slow enca... Guns already recovered in hammanskraal and military people from SADF arrested... Keep up to-date please

I hope they bring them to Zimbabwe;We need them

That's a threat and direct threat to our sovereign as a Nation.

This is a very serious issue. We should be very concerned and not just brush it off.

This will only happen under corrupt ANC

Recovered in hammanskraal.

Duh !! They will start the investigation with those were on duty at the time. They were probably sleeping instead of guarding.

Discipline has become non-existent. Some army and naval bases do not even have sentries at the gates anymore. You just drive in. That's what happens if you have no pride in your job but is only there for the salary (and/or the position).

ANC ngeyingazange iphathe. Foreigners soon will took this country Have respect for apartheid government,killing of police,rape and murder,two big cities army base were robbed (Cape town and Pretoria)fire arms,such barbaric behavior was not tolerated

Iyoh this country kodwa bft vele

Imagine the drug theft from the NHI!!! Utterly useless.

The rifles are back in the safe.

ParliamentofRSA has criminals. MYANC are criminals. SAPoliceService has criminals. Now SADF? SA is really a cesspit. CyrilRamaphosa JacksonMthembu_ tito_mboweni RonaldLamola MbalulaFikile GwedeMantashe1 LindiweSisuluSA DlaminiZuma DrZweliMkhize zsaul1

with how corrupt our government is, this could be an inside Job. technically they could have been sold

Seashorepoint Craighall baseset DejavuPha

The investigation is awesome! Where are the rifles? The theft of the rifles is a minor crime to those that will be commited with the rifles.

Then they will blame the crime not the carelessness they are

That’s when you really understand the danger of this country

So then they say we are safe we got security, such crap like this. Which means the president can be kidnapped or held captive one day 🤔

Everthing is falling apart in south Africa

Kak man it wasn't stolen it was handed out stolen my ass

SANDF 19 R4 assoult rifle they turning SA into mugadishu

Soldiers were busy having a braai somewhere...this is South Africa u brink u miss

I might as well buy myself one...I can't rely on these fools to protect me and my fam

'Stolen' wink wink

Ace Magashule knows something 🧐

If Souljas can be robbed, wat of me 🤔

Are we safe?

My guess it wasn’t stolen. Either not properly not accounted for or a high level exchange between SA and another government.

I’m thinking, this can only happen in SA. Just trying to understand how you break into a military base and steal their weapons - SANDF, and we rely on you to defend the country - someone surely needs to explain

Whuuuuwiii...

Imagine if we had nuclear weapons then

The story doesn't strike me as a shock ..its all began with a fake solider .otherwise south Africa is alive with possibilities

Too bad

Inside job!

Be on a look out for more cash intransact heists

It seems like they stole the uniform too. Sandf the best in the world not to defend it's country. They cannot defend they arms. Banana Republic. Which banana is the head.

Does this crime not fall under treason. Udilika jele ufanelekile apha.

One of our military bases got robbed🤷‍♂️

You mean sold surely. Incompetent fools led by incompetent fools but it's your own fault SA, you voted these jokers and corrupt ministers in, it serves you right.

Who ever has them please I want to buy 2.

With Mabhena like characters kuyabheda

What kind of msunery is this?

That bullshit, military base are the most secured shit place in the country. I have had many opportunities on leadership training in 5 different base and they never compromise thier security. So how did it happen? Mxm please stop fooling us. It not stolen atleast say it taken

You mean taken

Dont worry ADT is en route, responding to the panic signal

I think we need to replace our soldiers with the cape flats gangsters...

Thats nothing compare to kuptas airplan landing on airforce base imagine something that big n no one sees it coming until it landed.thats south africa for u.

I wish we could post a blank tweet.

Eish... I thought, a army camp is supposed to be well guarded

Yeah they need the R4's to do their Xmas shopping South African style.

Stolen 😏Taken 🤔 m still balancing de inside job by de commander

It's for more cash intranets robbery

The ANC was never ready to govern. These are failed state tendencies and the ANC hasn't even put its pants on regarding these types of crimes. They are constantly in crisis management mode trying to run a country that is too advanced for their abilities.

Noba babethwe ngeempama beziphethe zathathwa, yenye I country Lee mayivalwe klaar

R4 rifle?

Inside job this one because no criminals will able to walk off at SANDF base to stole the weapons if so SANDF let us down as a County 🙄

4 rand rifles? Guess SANDF are cheap skates.

Best joke before xmas.
