Lying patchman. Will you ever stop lying?

Soon after the SADC intervention, named Operation Boleas, began, the miscalculations were evident. The SANDF sent in about 600 soldiers to engage at least 2 000 members of what was known as a rebellious LDF contingent, which boasted strong support from armed civilians.

The SANDF also had no clue of the routes to most of its targets. The army is reported to have driven to the Lesotho Sun hotel, in the opposite direction of its intended target of King Letsie III’s royal palace. The SANDF had to rely on journalists to tell it how many palace gates there were. SANDF commanders had said there was one palace entrance, instead of three.

By the time the SANDF had managed to identify its targets, the LDF was already briefed about the SANDF’s presence and capabilities, and had prepared itself for an onslaught.

LDF members boast they knew about the impending attack as early as last week. As a result, the SANDF was caught unawares - also about the extent of the resistance the LDF and civilians could put up.

So far, nine SANDF members have been killed - a figure disputed by the LDF as conservative - and many more were wounded. Realising the situation was getting out of control, SANDF commanders were forced to bring in reinforcements to root the rebel Basotho soldiers and armed civilians out of Maseru.

On Wednesday, LDF members consistently fired on SANDF patrols in a display of power and determination. The frustrated SANDF fired warning shots that were quickly returned. A few hours later, the SANDFbegan assaulting citizens who were looting the city centre.

Said an injured SANDF sergeant: “It is true that the situation here is much tougher than we thought it would be. It is complicated. We have suffered casualties,

Next time you make claims/tell lies, provide evidence grin

How did i lie?

The country was counqoured - despite being outnumbered

Political order restored

Over 100 enemy combatants were killed for the loss of 10 men

These are the facts - all objectivea were met

Nooooo, not 600 vs 2,000.

Botswana's army was there to help you with 200 troops and SANDF had 700 troops, against a hungry weak rebel force of coup plotters in tiny Lesotho nation. So it's like about 1,000 vs 2,000 and SANDF had a lot of armoured vehicles/APCs for protection and advantage.

South African army was afraid to go alone that 1998 and asked Botswana for help (Same way they are helping you now 2015 against Rhino Poachers) grin grin

Hey, with all the help you got, SANDF still failed in Lesotho battle, you cannot even intervene inside a tiny country the size of Maryland city that is completely surrounded geographically by South Africa grin grin........means if 20,000 Boko Haram spread all over South African cities, your national army will collapse in one week grin grin

#Born To Fail.....SANDF
.

1. Botswanas army arrived late (after the fighting)
2. The initial invasion force was of 600 men
3. Not a weak hungry force - 2000 men of the LDF
4. No, it was 600 v 2000 thats a simple fact
5. Who said we asked them for help?

Tell me how was the operation in lesotho a failure?

What objectives did we fail to meet?

Dude dont come here and try to creat argumenents where there are none

We took complete controll of the army in 49 hours
We killed over 100 men for the loss of only 10
Political order was restored

The operation met all objectives

Meanwhile, when nigeria intervenes in tiny countries (sierra leone, liberia) it turns into a 10 year quamire where you have to call mercenaries/uk/us to come save you!!

South Africa is the hope of Africa.

With only one Zulu billionaire they have shown the way of financial independence .

And with 90% of economy run by the 7% white settlers, the rest of Africa should invite the west and sell off their economies and stock market to the west.

I just showed you that u have your problems and stop talking about another country being 'worse' Like yours is Holier....

Don't do that We're better or worse thing 'Cos
**We have murderers, you have
**We have rapists,You have
**We have fake pastors,you have
None of these crimes are Inferior/superior to the other in terms of country "Talking about worse"".

They have more murderer, more rapists, more HIV patients, more of everything. I wonder some1 saying Nigerian don't have toilets have you been to Nigeria b4 to compare it wit your country. They talk of health when our doctors are being looked for in other developed countries.

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by iblawi(m): 7:30am On Sep 01, 2015
This tread is full of irrelevant comment. We are both not the best in Africa when it come to military. So let stop disturbing this thread. We can open another 1 for Nigeria vs South Africa. Where we can educate you about things happen in your country that you don't know.

Nigeria never sent 100 soldiers to Sao tome and principles during their coup, it was from Abuja we dropped the guy. Dat shows power, Same goes for Guinea coup we never sent soldier.

I wonder why South Africa would Want to take glory for Lesotho coup as if it was a war. South Africa surround Lesotho and you are there only neighbor. I don't want to waste time posting the victories of Nigerian military cos am sure you know about them very well except you want to twist things. They are far more than your military's achievement.

and most of these countries are not known in sports. You see, you draw up your conclusions from emotional sentiment . grin Cricket isn't even a proper world sport with only just 10 full membership countries. embarassed

It's very funny how south African "play" and "be" everything and anything under contention If you guys aren't deployed to dafur as military men, you're making the best fighter jets in the world. Now we have a "professional " cricket and football player grin Hmn, #inferior lots.#fakery. # inferiority complex fuelled by fear and deceit.

Nigeria don't suck at cricket or rudgy ; we just don't care. We won't even watch it if you paid us to.

But south Africa really loves football and they kept failing at every try.

After winning the 2013 Afcon in your own backyard, I wasn't really especting praises from you grin grin grin
1. If you understood Cricket, you would know that those 10 countries are considered TEST playing nations, the ICC in total has over a 100 members, including Nigeria. P.S do you know what test cricket even is?

2. Australia, not known in sports?, England/Britain not known in sports? South Africa not known in sports? West Indies not known in sports?Cool story Bro!!

3. Yes we are sh1t at football, never said we are any good, and winning Afcon is nothing to brag about, lets be honest all African countries pretty much s.ck d1ck at football! Whats the furthest any African country has progressed in the Fifa world cup? Quarter Finals? For more than 80 fvcking years the furthest any of us has come in a world cup is fvcking Quarter finals!! and you want to brag about winning 1 Afcon, which btw we have won as well!

Yes, we know you love being millionaires and despise billionaires. South Africa's preferences are very sophisticated. There are more white FEMALE millionaires in the 7% white population than there are Zulu millionaires in the over 80% Zulu population.

But Zulus don't like female Anglo -Dutch to have more millionaires than them. It is a new socio-economic strategy for growth grin grin grin
