Stock photo.The SA National Defence Force has dismissed suggestions that US military personnel are in SA to protect certain government officials.“This is the most ludicrous statement and is dismissed with the contempt it deserves. This Twitter message is not worth a response,” said SANDF spokesperson Brig-Gen Andries Mahapa.

The US Army Southern European Task Force was in SA for a joint peace support operation and humanitarian relief exercise with the SANDF. “A well-known exercise between the two militaries, exercise Shared Accord 2022 is the fourth exercise of this nature to be planned and executed in SA. Previous exercises took place in 2011, 2013 and 2017,” said Mahapa.

“The last exercise was conducted in the Northern Cape at the SA Army Combat Training Centre Lohatlha, with the next exercise scheduled for 2020. But due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic all joint exercises were suspended. “The aim of exercise Shared Accord 2022 is mainly to improve the bilateral military interoperability to conduct maritime force protection against conventional and asymmetric threats at sea, harbours, conduct air support operations to peace support operations for landward forces and exercise the provision of medical assistance and humanitarian relief to own forces and the local population.

I would not have believed it anyway. The US will definitely not send their army to protect the ANC... never

Kzn can't breathe. Us Army or whatever UN peace keeping fuckoff

Why would the US protect the apparatchiks of an Anti-Americsn regime?

Not government but the Stellenbosch mafia and their ice boy. They are here to secure their G7 promises.

French policemen were here for joint training with SAPS before soccer world cup.

Then what is the reason?

The answer it's simple, sharing of skills.

WTF is the US army in SA in any case?

One day the truth will come out.. ten thousand soldiers just came all the way from the states? For what? Not a single political party has spoken up about this. Banana Republic 🚮

Needed not to respond to nonsense.

The question remains why is the US Army in SA?..What are they doing here?

Why is the most terroristic army here then

Bafunani kanti?
