The military has warned that claims circulating on social media are patently absurd and people should not be fooled.
The Chinese army is not “training 80 000 blacks ” in the Potchefstroom area, there are no “ISIS training camps” in KwaZulu-Natal, “Operation Iron Eagle” is a myth and President Cyril “Ramaphose” doesn’t need to explain the presence of Chinese “military soldiers” in South Africa, because there aren’t any.
A post by one Sandra-Marie Strauss claims that 6 000 Chinese police officers from China arrived on four ships in Cape Town and that they were given a farm of 26 000ha in Platfontein for training purposes. “We have press freedom and transparency in the media in South Africa. I therefore find it strange that people would rely on social media instead of just googling a reliable, more accurate source.”“At this stage, the focus of the SANDF is to assist government in its efforts in curbing the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to our regular duties.
