    Getting medals for these polookas is like getting badges in the boy scouts. Fire badge, water badge, bs badge...................

    Probably bought them at a flea market stall. Thought they'd look really good and hopefully draw attention from his bloated stomach!

    Yes, what might he have done to deserve them? Umkhonto Wesizwe is the militia of a political party. They gave their members medals? For what? I can only remember the cowardly fatal bomb blast in Pretoria, not sure what other operations warranted medals on all these "Generals & Brigadiers".

    Ahh well, let's sit back and watch this operation unfold!

SANDF Clowns Slaughtered In CAR

By Mike Smith 
25th of March 2013 

Everytime I think about the current SANDF the word “Useless” drifts past my mind. 

They are not a soldiers’ arse. Throwing down the rifle and running in the opposite direction when the bullets start to fly is their trademark. 

These clowns couldn’t even hold back a few rag-tag rebels in the Central African Republic. 

To put it in simple English; “They got their arses handed to them. 

How many were exactly killed is unknown and reports differ, but this one reckons 13 died and 27 were wounded.

13 SANDF soldiers die 

Rebels seized the riverside capital of Bangui in fierce fighting on Sunday, forcing President Francois Bozize to flee. 

Already the bullshit excuses and commie lies are coming in…They had no arial support…They were outnumbered etc. 
‘It was 200 of us against 3 000 rebels’ 

Firstly, the rebels also did not have arial support. Secondly I do not for one moment believe the lies of the ANC regime. 

I won’t be surprised if this was just a handful of rebels against 200 SANDF clowns. 

So the ANC regime has no other choice, but to lie, because if the truth comes out, Zuma’s head and that of Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula will roll. 

This is what happens when you have an Affirmative Action military made up of grossly incompetent wannabe generals with Coke-top medals for proud service as cowardly MK terrorists. 

The useless, ill disciplined and ill trained troops are even worse, but sending such clowns into battle is akin to murder. Who ordered it? President ZUMA himself. He ignored the advise of certain generals to withdraw and instead sent in an extra 200 troops.

Nevertheless...As these MK clowns now discovered...It is one thing to blow up innocent women and children in Wimpy Bars…quite a different story to fight determined African rebels. Red faces as mission to CAR unravels 

These bunch of sissies retreated to their barracks to go and hide under their beds. They looked for safe passage to the airport and pleaded with the French to bail them out of the shit! How utterly embarrassing!

Zuma's Missing Years Come to Light

There were accounts of routine and bizarre acts of torture ­ beatings with barbed wire, bicycle chains and iron bars.

The peculiar thing is how the ANC could have 'executed' Ben Langa by mistake when he was so well known.

His prominence in the darkest days of the exiled ANC seems to have been overlooked, says David Beresford.

The long-running drama over Jacob Zuma and the arms deal has resulted in the country overlooking an aspect of the ANC president's background which says even more about his fitness, or otherwise, to govern.

At the end of last year, a biography was published on Zuma which was perhaps more interesting for what it did not contain. Written by journalist Jeremy Gordin, it fails to mention, for instance, that Zuma was a life-long communist.

Zuma seems to have been anxious not to have this detail widely known. Nor is membership of the SA Communist Party mentioned in Zuma's government and ANC biographies.
Curiously, however, it is mentioned in his autobiography.
A favourite technique of identifying enemy agents in the ANC was to make members endlessly write their life stories.

The theory was that an enemy agent trying to stick to his or her cover story would sooner or later make a blunder which would be pounced on by their interrogator.

On May 2 1985, Jacob Zuma, alias "Pedro", sat down to write his story. The Zuma autobiography ­ published by the radical investigative magazine, Molotov Cocktail ­ says he joined the SACP (or 'the family' as it is euphemistically referred to) at the age of 21, in 1963.
Zuma's autobiography also mentions his membership of "NAT" ­ the dreaded security department of the ANC in exile. Popularly known as the "Mbokodo" ­ "the stone that crushes" ­ NAT was a department of the ANC, but seems to have taken on a life of its own.
Set up in 1969, NAT was answerable to the Revolutionary Council, which in turn fell under Oliver Tambo at the office of the ANC president.

In the '80s NAT concentrated on disciplinary functions and guard duties in places such as Quadro (the ANC's main detention camp in Angola, sometimes known as Quatro), moving away from intelligence activities.

In 1987 Joe Nhlanhla was appointed director of the Mbokodo with Zuma his deputy.
A senior intelligence official testified to one inquiry that the "powers" of the Mbokodo were "pervasive". They did not consider themselves accountable "to the ANC generally or answerable to anybody specifically, other than its head".

The nature of Mbokodo can be best conveyed by an account of some of the allegations arising from the 1983 Quadro mutiny.

There have been three internal inquiries by the ANC into the camps scandal, and the horror stories that emerged are beyond dispute.

There were accounts of routine and bizarre acts of torture ­ beatings with barbed wire, bicycle chains and iron bars ­ and food and water deprivation.

Detainees were made to crawl through colonies of red ants with pig fat rubbed into their skin. A prisoner had his lips burned by cigarettes and his testicles squeezed with pliers; a detainee was buried up to his neck before being suffocated with a plastic bag; a woman had a guard masturbate over her because she refused to have sex with security officials. A trainee tried to commit suicide after his girlfriend was "taken away". People were locked up in goods containers, in suffocating conditions. And people simply disappeared.

According to the Motsuenyane Commission report ­ the most comprehensive of the inquiries ­ there were also "rumours of rampant embezzlement of funds, illicit dealings in precious minerals and theft of motor cars" by leaders of NAT.

Thanks to Zuma's predilection for secrecy, his part ­ or otherwise ­ in all this is difficult to discover. He is quoted fatuously in Gordin's book as saying details of the "operational events of those days" were the "property of the ANC, not his".

The little that is known about Zuma's "missing years" is no more than a confusion of dates to be found in government biographies and listings of commanders submitted to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Two murders are central to the story of the Mbokodo. The first is that of Mzwakhe Ngwenya, better known by his nom de guerre of Thami Zulu, or TZ.

TZ was an extremely popular commander in the ANC whose death in 1989 is a cause célèbre.
Commander of the "Natal machinery", he died a few days after being released from ANC detention. He had been held by the Mbokodo for 14 months without charge, including eight weeks in solitary. Forensic evidence indicates he was poisoned.

TZ's deputy, Cyril Raymond (a.k.a. 'Edward Lawrence', a.k.a.'Ralph' a.k.a. 'Fear') was also detained. He died while in the custody of the Mbokodo, denying that he was a police spy. He apparently drowned in his own vomit.

The death of TZ caused such an uproar within the ANC that the organisation was forced to set up a commission of inquiry into it. It found no evidence that Thami was a South African agent.
The other murder is that of Benjamin Langa, which is not as well-known as TZ's killing, but could be as explosive.
Ben Langa was the brother of Chief Justice Pius Langa, and of writer Mandla Langa.
Ben was shot dead in May 1984. The killing was carried out by two gunmen ­ Sipho Xulu and Lucky Payi ­ both of whom were hanged for the killing.

They were helped in the murder of Ben by Joel George Martins, a friend of Ben's. Martins took the two killers to the flat where Ben was staying and called out to him, whereupon Ben opened the door to his murderers.

Martins subsequently applied to the TRC for amnesty for the killing and explained he had been told by Xulu that they had orders from a senior commander in Swaziland to kill Ben for having "sold out comrades".

The man who gave this order was code-named "Ralph", according to Martins. It was the same Ralph, or Fear, mentioned above ­ who drowned in his own vomit while being detained by the Mbokodo.

But in another twist to this extraordinary tale, the two killers testified in their Pietermaritzburg trial that the man who gave them orders to carry out the murder was not Fear, but one "Leonard".

Jacob Zuma was also due to have testified at the hearing, but failed to turn up. A TRC amnesty panel was told arrangements had been made for him to appear, but he had gone to Geneva. George Bizos SC, who appeared for the Langa family at the hearing, said he had been unable to get a statement from Zuma.

Fear's alleged "culpability" has won wide credence, thanks to the ANC leadership. Thabo Mbeki, for example, submitted a statement to the TRC which found its way into its final report. It said: "In a few cases, deliberate misinformation resulted in attacks and assassination in which dedicated cadres lost their lives. In one of the most painful examples of this nature, a state agent with an MK name of Fear ordered two cadres to execute Ben Langa on the grounds that Langa was an agent of the regime. These cadres, Clement Payi and Lucky Xulu, carried out their orders. This action resulted in serious disruption of underground and mass democratic structures in the area and intense distress to the Langa family, which was the obvious intention of Fear's handlers.

"Once the facts were known to the leadership of the ANC, President Tambo personally met with the family to explain and apologise for this action. Xulu and Payi were arrested and executed. A triple murder had been achieved by the apartheid regime without firing a single shot."
The basis on which Mbeki was able to identify Fear as a police agent and a murderer is not known.

The peculiar thing for the Langa family is how the ANC could have "executed" Ben by mistake when he was so well known in KwaZulu-Natal and further afield. Ben's brother Mandla recalls that one of the trigger-men, Xulu, was a personal friend. Mandla had in a sense "adopted" the youngster when they were based at the ANC's Malange camp in Angola.

In fact, the friendship with Ben was even closer. Xulu testified that Ben had actually recruited him into the ANC and had helped him get out of South Africa. In exile Xulu had risen to the rank of battalion commander before being sent back to kill his sponsor and friend.

Asked by counsel when and where he was given instructions to kill Ben , Xulu said it was on the way from Mbabane in a car driven "by the regional chief of security, Umkhonto weSizwe".
"While we were in the motor car he then said to me. .. there is a person who has done us a lot of harm. I asked him: 'Who is that person?' He said the person was Ben Langa. I said: 'It cannot be Ben Langa.'" He said he went on to explain his relationship with Ben.

An exhibit in the Pietermaritzburg trial was a decrypted code book. One entry read: "Ben Langa eliminated on May 20. Reason: Leonard informed us on the day we left that Ben is the guy who handed two comrades to the Boers."

There was only one ANC cadre named Leonard in the region at the time. He flatly denies having been a "regional chief of security", or having had the conversation recounted by Xulu. His only connection with Ben was that he (Ben) had been seen with a former policeman in Wentworth and he (Leonard) had sent a report to this effect ­ to Jacob Zuma.

SA Troops Die In Battle

March 25 2013

South Africa lacks the airlift capacity to quickly extract its troops from the Central African Republic (CAR), a defence expert says.

This would leave the remaining 200-odd soldiers in peril after rebels reportedly pushed through their lines and killed at least six before seizing the capital Bangui.

CAR President Francois Bozize was believed to have fled the country on Sunday as the capital fell amid heavy fighting.

A witness said at least six South African soldiers were killed in clashes with the rebels. A UN source said the South Africans, in the country to train the army along with hundreds of regional peacekeepers, were preparing to leave.

Meanwhile, Eric Massi, a spokesman for the rebel alliance, known as Seleka, said: “The palace has just fallen. We have the palace.”

The rebels had fought their way to the northern suburbs of the riverside capital late on Saturday before an overnight lull in the fighting. on Sunday morning, heavy-weapons fire erupted across Bangui.

Massi said the rebels had broken through a line of South African soldiers during their push into the city. About 200 South African troops, including special forces and paratroopers, are in the CAR.

Reinforcements were sent by President Jacob Zuma in January to protect those already there as rebels trying to topple Bozize advanced on Bangui.

France and regional African governments also intervened militarily, and Seleka signed a peace deal with Bozize on January 11.

But Seleka renewed hostilities on Friday, saying Bozize had reneged on the peace deal.

Regional peacekeeping sources said the South Africans fought alongside the CAR army on Saturday.

“I saw the bodies of six South African soldiers. They had all been shot,” a witness said. “Their vehicles were also destroyed. Other South African soldiers came to recover the bodies.”

SANDF Brigadier-General Xolani Mabanga said:

“Following the engagement between the SANDF members and CAR rebels, there were some casualties from both sides.

“We are at the moment still trying to assess the information from the people on the ground. We cannot, therefore confirm any figures.”

The situation was calm by Sunday afternoon and there was no known threat to the lives of other South African soldiers.

Mabanga said the contact between SANDF members and CAR rebels took place on Saturday at an SANDF base on the outskirts of Bangui. There also were other isolated incidents.

The SANDF had been deploying troops to the CAR since 2007 following a memorandum of understanding between the two countries.

“The chief of the SANDF has emphasised that the SANDF reserves the right, at all times, to act decisively in defence of its members and assets deployed on the ground in CAR.

“I cannot confirm we were fighting alongside (the CAR army), but we fell under attack and defended ourselves, and we repulsed the attackers,” Mabanga told news channel eNCA.

A source with the UN in Bangui said South African troops were preparing to leave the country.

“They took substantial losses and have asked for French support to load their troops and take off,” said the source.

She added that she had heard that between two and 12 South African soldiers had died.

Defence analyst Helmoed-Römer Heitman said a decision on whether to stay and send reinforcements or evacuate needed to be taken fast, based on a proper intelligence assessment.

However, South Africa didn’t have the ability to quickly reinforce or extract its troops, he claimed.

One option would be for them to make for the Oubangui River, blow up their vehicles and cross over to the Democratic Republic of Congo. This would be embarrassing, but “better than body bags”.

From Addis Ababa, the head of the AU Commission strongly condemned the seizure of power by rebels and called for member nations to take unified and decisive action.

“African Union statutes envisage, in the case of an anti-constitutional change of power, the country’s suspension from AU activities, the complete isolation of those responsible and the adoption of sanctions against them,” AU Commission chairwoman Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said.

DA defence spokesman David Maynier said the deployment had been a complete disaster.

SO THE SANDF GOT THEIR ASS WHIPPED!!

Well Mr Zuma this is all your fault!! Like it or not you created this limp wristed, aids infected, undisciplined collection of fools that you call the SANDF!! You just had to jump on your little soap box and tell the world that you will send your armed forces into CAR to sort out their problems. Now you have dead soldiers on your hands and the world laughing behind their hands at the ineptitude and inability of your armed forces to overcome against a band of rebels!!

I cant even bring myself to blame the soldiers, you let them live like pigs in their barracks, you let them join unions, you let them strike, you and your cronies promoted morons with little or no experience to positions of leadership? And yet you still expected them to become real soldiers? Idiot!!! You sent men that are led by leaders who are seen in our shopping malls in full uniform wearing pink slippers to fight against men who believe in their cause, men who would gladly die for their cause?? How stupid are you? Now the once mighty SADF has become the SANDF who are cowering in their barracks and begging the French to escort them to the airport so that they can get the hell out of there and return to the land of “rape and money”!!

Let this be a lesson to you when you decide to use your “army” to control us, remember we were trained in the old army where discipline and training were everything and we will escort your raggamuffin army straight into the sea!! Next time instead of sending your armed forces to other countries to do a job they are clearly not trained to do, try deploying them on the farms in south Africa to protect our food supplies from your criminals who will soon have us all starving!! Or try deploying them in large numbers along our borders to stop the millions of illegal aliens who are flocking here to take part in the free for all mentality that you have created. I remember a time when Africa trembled at the sound of the SADF mobilizing because it was known as the “iron fist” of Africa !! Now they are more akin to the lacite glove on the hand of Michael Jackson?

Your police force has fallen apart and been overrun with criminals, your military has proved what they are worth – nada! Nothing! Zilch! It seems to me Mr Zuma that the writing is on the wall clear as daylight for all the world to see, all except you and your cronies who are permanently blinded by your randelas!! in my day we were well trained, well armed and had a “dankie tannie sakkie” bible in our pockets and we were willing to fight to last breath because we were proud to be there in defense of what was good and right!! That may well be your problem – nobody in their right mind could be proud of what you have done to this country!! You should hang your head in shame…
