SANDF faces funding crisis


The SA National Defence Force (SANDF) is facing a "catastrophic" multi-billion-Rand financial crisis that could force mass retrenchments and the indefinite postponement of the acquisition of essential equipment.

Johannesburg daily The Times reported defence secretary Sam Gulube as saying a R1.1 billion budget shortfall could compel the SANDF into large-scale retrenchments and compulsory early retirement in order to survive and pay salaries.

The budget shortfall also meant the SANDF would have to cut operations and acquisitions.

Gulube was speaking after briefing Parliament's defence portfolio committee.

The defence force's descent into crisis was slammed by the SA National Defence Union (Sandu) and a defence analyst said the proposed cost-saving measures would degrade the SANDF - already "catatonic" - even more.Gulube said the Department of Defence was unable to fill 4 000 posts because of insufficient funding.

Various options were being considered, he said, including cutting employees and extending working hours between now and March 2015.

"We hope that for the next financial year we will be covered.

"For the remuneration of employees, we are about R1.1 billion short. By the end of this year, I will have to balance these books.

"When posts are vacant we don't fill them. We encourage people to take voluntary exit mechanisms. We are looking at the attrition rate. The number of people who retire or die in service will be about 2 000 annually."

The shortfall means soldiers are being deployed for longer on foreign missions to cut down on stand-by shifts at home bases.

David Maynier, Democratic Alliance MP and defence portfolio committee member, said the Department of Defence was spending more than half of its budget of about R43 billion on personnel-related costs.

"The army alone has a R13.8 billion budget, of which R9.5 billion went to pay soldiers and staff. Less than one percent went to payment for capital assets such as vehicles."

Maynier said ideally about 40% of a budget should be spent on pay and benefits and the rest split equally between operations and capital acquisitions.

"The defence force needs to downsize to reduce expenditure on personnel so that it can properly fund operations and acquisitions."

South-Africans, your imaginary defence review, poject biro and multiple day dreaming are all dead.


Your president is currently investigating thabo mbeki on the corrupt deals that got you submarines, gripen jets when most of the population lack proper sanitation, electricity and shit in the buckets. According to zuma and the panel investigating thabo mbeki over the corruption tainted deals, the money used on frigates and Gripen jets should have been used to provide basic amenities for your population.

He was in jail in Nigeria 2008. Released on general amnesty in 2009. Traveled to South Africa after release to commit crime again on South African soil in 2010. Henry Okah found Nigeria too hot, he moved base to cool spot crime paradise South Africa. It's your country that is not too smart, they hungrily collect visa application money from any good or bad human being and open the gates of Pretoria airport very wide for every devil that pays your embassy visa money to Shout Afrikaa.

You are pathetic indeed. Do you mean Nigeria where everyone commit atrocities and still get away with it? South Africa might have a high crime rate but it is a no-escape zone. We have a tough security boss.

South Africa does not have imaginery defence review. It has a hard copy of it reflecting all the challenges encounted by defence in SA. You can google it for it has its own website.

For your information project Biro is not dead, it is a demand in SAN. Moreover, Pres Mbeki is not investigated and has nothing to do with corruption in the arms deal other than it happened during his tenure as the president of RSA. He appeared briefly before the commission to give account of the events that led to corruption.

The aim of the commission is not to stop other projects or future arms deal of defence, but only to establish what went wrong and to prosecute those found guilty of corrupt behavior.

Interesting reading some of the projects the SANDF has contracted Armscor to secure in 2014.

- Retrofit of the SANDF''s 9,3 M C-Band Satellite Earth Station Antenna

-Support of the Milan 3 ADT missile system (including firing unit and training simulator)

-Maintenance and repair of 10 x Megaray 175 illuminator systems for Special Forces

-TETHERED AEROSTAT SYSTEM

-Procurement of intelligence tactical surveillance crew kit equipment

-Specialist in-service support for the Gripen flight test centre of the SAAF

-SAAF Electronic warfare centre technical support

No its not

Defence Reveiw goes before parliament on September. The problems within the SANDF are based on its CURRENT FUNDING. Not proposed funding.

Are you too dense to understand that?

No, Defence Reveiw will change the budget (pretty much double it) which we as a nation can afford.

Also, major aquisitions dont fall under the SANDF.... they fall under SCAMP.

Different organizations, shitbird.

You're very very silly.


The corruption deals that brought you totally useless Subs and Gripen jets is currently under-investigations, with a former president under scrutiny over the procurements. You're here talking about doubling of budget.

Am happy we will be moving away from borrowing money from IMF, World Bank and happy for this BRICS BANK.
Next year theyr starting with construction of BRICS BAK AFRICA BRANCH in Jozi.

By the way SA MINERAL WEALTH IS OVER $4,7TRILLION OF UNTAPPED MINERAL WEALTH. The west and east knows that....
Our mineral wealth alone DWARFS Naaigayria DECLINING OIL RESERVES this year alone the oil reserves declined by 2billion barrels.

NOTE: SA is expolring its waters after the Flakland Island oil finding and theres geological evidence showing we have oil samples. We're just waiting now for that BIG ANNOUCEMENT like Kenya and Namibia.
AFRICA is blessed with oil other countries are discovering oila and gas while Naaigayria's reserves are DECLINING. By 2025 Naaigayria's reserves will drop to 27 bbl before decling to below 25bbl beyond 2030.

Recent OIL AND GAS discoveries in East (Kenya,Uganda,Tanzania,Somalia)and Southern AFRICA (RSA,Namibia,Madagascar,Mozambique) will affect Naaigaria big time. First of all CHINA and INDIA,INDONESIA,MALAYSIA,JAPA etc.. are GEOGRAPHICALLY closer to East and Southern Africa. It will make business sense for EAST/China/India/Japan etc. to BUY OIL in East and Southern Africa.

Nigerians CONFESSING THEY'RE JEALOUS OF SOUTH AFRICA. THEY EVEN HATE LATE BABA MANDELA. FACT.
http://hausanigerian..com/2011/03/country-envy-south-africa.html


4 Reasons Why I am Jealous of South Africa
Even though Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa (170 million people) so that every 1 in 4 Black person in the world is a Nigerian; even though it has the most industrious people who possess a fabulous sense of humour and a perpetual optimism about life, and even though the world's richest Black man is Nigerian, I'm still jealous of the West's interest in all things South Africa.

1. MANDELA
There's an almost Messiah-like reverence for the political prisoner turned apartheid-abolitionist, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Former SA President Nelson Mandela, so that every celebrity worth their salt has taken a picture with him. Numerous books and films have been produced to celebrate his achievements (from Invictus to the recent Winnie starring Jeniffer Hudson and Terrence Howard) and his status as respected elder-statesman of the world is unrivaled.


Nelson Mandela: The world's best loved African leader

Nigeria has yet to produce such a highly-regarded leader. Not once. We have respected authors like Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka, but in recent times our politicians have been better known for what they do wrong than what they've done right.

2. FOOTBALL WORLD CUP
Then there was the 2010 World Cup. The first ever to be held in Africa was of course in SA. Now this makes sense because in terms of the country's advancements in technology and infrastructure, it is by far the most suitable and best prepared country in Sub-Saharan Africa to hold such a prestigious event. Even SA's ability to have continuous electricity trumps Nigeria's NEPA failures. But I was jealous that South Africa was yet again feted by the worldwide community for this impressive feat. I wish it were Nigeria. But alas, even our footballers, once our pride and joy (and former Olympic Gold medal winners!) failed us.

3. MEDIA
Around the world numerous books have been written (Cry, The Beloved Country) multiple documentaries (Rough Aunties), popular films (Cry Freedom, Sarafina, District 9) plays, column inches and charities have been dedicated to South Africa. Although Nigeria gave the world Fela Kuti and our writers like Chimamanda Adichie continue to excite the literary world, our country doesn't elicit the same level of fascination, romance and interest as South Africa does.


Fela Kuti: Nigeria's best known musician (LOST TO SOUTH AFRICA'S BLACK MAMBAZO WHO WON THEIR 4TH GRAMMY AWARD. SA Continues to dwarf Nigeria)

And out of the seven Black men that have won the Nobel Peace Prize, three were South African.

4. TOURISM
There's also the general beauty and tourist-friendly appeal of cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg which attract visitors. With world-class accommodation, picturesque beaches, beautiful vistas and natural amenities to enjoy I'm not surprised. But I am jealous. I wish Nigeria's tourist industry was equally well-developed. We have the potential: beautiful beaches, the best cuisine, great history and beautiful areas in Abuja and Lagos. But we lack the security to ensure visitors' safety, and the development and promotion of some of these areas let us down, as does the air and land travel difficulties (bad roads, shambolic airports)


Abuja, Nigeria (smaller than SANTON CITY" RICHEST SQUARE MILE IN AFRICA" IN LAND AREA and underdeveloped)

South Africa is as well known for its high crime rates, in fact more well known than Nigeria's, yet the country still manages to be the foremost African destination for tourists, film-makers and travellers. Some will say the large white minority help to keep the country developed and affluent and draw people in, and there's some truth in that.


Until then, I will continue to view South Africa's high profile success with envy and think: "If only that was Nigeria!"[/b]

[b]HandofChukwu
You are the only idiot in the world that doesn't know that BRITISH DISCOVERED your OIL AND GAS in 1950s and later FVCKED OFF at their own will because they saw Nigeria is a sh8t hole. Ya'll unlike Angola or Mozambique never fought against COLONIALISM OR WHITE RULE. Bloody cowards were ENSLAVED BEFORE DURING SLAVE TRADE.

Again let me correct u about African history. Since ur head is EMPTY. ZERO BRAINS like many of ur kin. Hence European slavers looked down on your people and dubbed them "REFUSE SLAVES". Bought em as last option.
AFRICAN HISTORY QUICK FACTS
Before 1stBC-1500s African kingdoms fought over land and enslaved and killed each other.

EUROPEAN CONTACTS
SLAVERY ERA
1500-1860
ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE, where whites bought slaves in west and central africa.
Kings and chiefs were MIDDLEMEN like your socalled billionaires today.
COLONIAL ERA
1900-1953 Most of African countries are COLONISED BY EUROPEANS.
INDEPENDENCE ERA
Late 1950s BRITISH DECIDE TO FVCK OFF WEST AFRICA, while French and SPANISH followed. While Portugese were fighting against locals in Guinea Bissau,Angola,Mozambique. Portugese ended losing in the end. These are Africans who can claim to have fought and won against colonialism not forgeting Mau-Mau in Kenya.

S.A CONTEXT
Before 1948 was under colonial rule like rest of AFRICA. 1948 Apartheid started till 1990.
[/b]

jelousy is the fools defence mechanism

^^^^^^History shows AFRICANS have never been friends before European contacts. So this FAKE BROTHERHOOD sh8t is a LIE.
HENCE HATE BETWEEN US IS THE REALITY. FACT.

Hence I say let each and African country arm itself and let killing copntinue
When I see a Naaigayrian I SEE A PITCH BLACK ENEMY that deserves to be at the GRAVEYARD.

That does not mean they are not going to get the budget soon. It is infact a temporary setback and not a long standing issue. You cannot hold on to this and I don't know how long will you rejoice over this. I am 100% sure that it will be shotlived. Stay tuned when we will be posting that the treasury has approved more funds like it has been the case with gripen saga. Thank you.
