President Cyril Ramaphosa has paid tribute to the men and women in uniform in the South African National Defence Force, saying they should continue to put the country first.
“From north Africa to Southern Africa, from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa and the great lakes region, South Africa depends on the military to support peace building on the continent as part of a mandate from the AU and the UN.”
Unlike the apartheid-era military, Ramaphosa said the democratic defence force was committed to forging peace and supporting development.“They are to be found on rescue missions in times of disaster, rebuilding and building bridges where a desperate need exists and rehabilitating rivers from the effects of pollution.”
