Your own source says US hired mercenaries from many countries, not only South Africa, and it includes mercenaries from Fiji and Colombia, if a tiny Fiji Island Nation is ranked along with South Africa....Yiu should bury your head in the sand of shame


"US tax dollars aren't just going to South AFrican killers. They're going to mercenaries from Fiji, Nepal, Colombia and who knows where else.

Indeed, While Fiji, Nepal, Colombia and other nations supply large contingents of guards to the U.S. war effort somewhat openly"
.

SA mercenaries were more than any other mercenaries in all US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even getting paid more than US troops.

Beware of China, it will suck your blood dry.

Yet you Southies boast here that South Africa is proudly a member of BRICS manufacturing nations along with the same China that you ridicule, means your BRICS group of 5 nations is a gathering of junk manufacturers

Being partners does not mean we should patronise their products. Instead we've helped them in many projects.

Nigeria has no missile armed frigates alive

Who has the strongest navy in sub-Saharan Africa?

This thread is STRONGEST MILITARY IN AFRICA....not sub sahara....So Egypt, Algeria, Morocco have the best 3 navies in Africa.

SAN cannot patrol and catch one single pirate in Mozambique, all your frigates and submarines are broken down except one each.

Strongest is relative, SAN cannot match NN in maritime security enforcement, nobody is shooting missiles at sea in the world today

There are no pirates in Mozambique - because we are there

The status of Frigates and Subs is not permanent - its just at this point in time the maintenance of 2 other frigates has overlapped.

Sometimes 1 is operational, sometimes 2 and every now and then 3. Depends on what the Navy plans to have operational for its needs.

And again, SAN is not only composed of frigates.

And, in terms of warfighting ability, NN is centuries behind the SAN

Source clearly says :

A total of 103 counter insurgency operatives from Nigeria and nine other African countries have concluded a four-week intensive training on internal security.

Define ready for war. If it war then we have 2. SAN runs on very strict standards. According to civlian standards just about all our ships are sea worthy. But to us we need the primary system and all the back ups working. If one bilge allarm is broken the ship can't deploy. All the engines, pumps, genorators, extra have to work for us to deploy. This high standard is of course can be ignored if the situation is dire enough.

China is merely being used for production by Europe countries. Majority of what they produce are in fact not Chinese products.

Nigerian police stations are very tiny, some are just the size of a one room apartment.

Your incompetence is astounding

Nope, your own illiteracy is staggering

The article talks about Chinese products flooding into South Africa and killing your weaker economy, your people love to use made in China

I quote from the article :

3. Chinese‐South Africa Trade Flows
3.1 Growth and Structure of Chinese‐South Africa Trade

Trade between South Africa and China has grown dramatically since China joined the WTO in 2001.  

South African imports from China increased from less than $1.1 billion in 2001 to $14.2 billion in 2011.

Throughout the period, South Africa has run a trade deficit with China which tended to increase over time, as shown in Figure 1

Chinese products are now colonizing South African cities all over your country

Do you even know what a trade deficit is?

Let me explain:

- they buy 1 thing from us
- we buy 2 things from them

We now have a trade deficit of 1.

It has nothing to do with what you are saying you troglodyte

Exactly which products are colonizing us. Made in China does not translate into suggesting that the brand is from China.

Adidas, Nike or Puma know very well that China has manpower and you only have to pay them cheap to produce your product faster than a lightning.

Unfortunately for me, I.have nothing in my house that is a China product, other than a European company producing their products using Chinese cheap labour.

So why is your own South African source not telling lies? SANDF has denied knowledge of it, and Nigerian army has denied knowledge of it

"The SA National Defence Force on Monday said it was unaware of former South African soldiers being deployed to Nigeria to help destroy terrorist group Boko Haram.

"I do not know where Beeld gets this thing from. Ask them," SANDF spokesman Siphiwe Dlamini said.

http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2015/01/27/sandf-unaware-of-soldiers-in-nigeria


"When contacted yesterday, the Nigeria Defence spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade said, "It is well known that terrorism being an international and trans/cross border menace calls for the involvement of all well meaning countries all over the world."

He added that: "In this case I'm only aware of partner countries whose activities have been mainly in the form exchange of ideas and support to ongoing training activities."

Olukolade also said: "The conduct of Nigeria's counter terrorism campaign remains exclusively an all Nigerian troops affairs. This is the much I know and can discuss."

http://m.allafrica.com/stories/201501281248.html/

That's true SANDF know nothing about them because they are free citizens who are not contracted to work for SANDF. They do not account to SANDF so why should they make their whereabout known to SANDF? Mercenary service is banned in SA, of course they wouldn't want everyone to know about their destination. However, the beeld newspaper which always uncover secret operations in SA reported about the whereabouts of SA mercenaries. They are now exposed.
