Don't hold your breath for any intelligent answers. The ones that have been delivered so far are so thin and pathetic that it is an insult to one's intelligence.

'National interests' is just an euphemism for business interest of top ANC business people and politicians. They have simply sent in some pawns in an attempt to protect and defend their investments and shares in business activities there. The ANC led government has absolutely no interest in the well being of the citizens of CAR or the veiled excuse called peace.

Neveretheless, it has revealed how run down the SANDF has become. The SANDF has simply descended into a tin pot unit that cannot even prop up a tin pot dictator. They just sent in some CAR guards.

erm... mate, they held nothing out... And they did run away to hide inside their barracks - not that I blame them, I would too - please, just don't harbour any illusions about bravery of the soldiers or their "purpose" in being there. A waste from start to finish.

patriot4: Names of NGO's and links their reports, please.
Everyone here, even the SA boys are now convinced I was saying the truth, I think it is impossible to show you the truth. You are like a blind man.

patriot4: Needless to say that five hundred dead kids would have made the news everywhere in the world, and the Red Cross would have picked on that, such as other NGOs, so I get the fealing SANDF surrendered to children. That is the ultimate redicule.
Enough said.

agaugust:


even if @andrewza wants to surrender to @patriot4, he won't be able because south African soldiers lost their white flag while running away so fast from the CAR rebels.

andrewza:

A large portion of the rebels wheer in there teens.


It funny how Nigerians will accept what south african sources say when it suits them but dissmiss what dose not. Even if it is the very dame source.


And nigeria fough child solders in seirr leon. So your point is what again.

A built from a 14 year old is just has deadly has a built from a 40 year old.

patriot4:
"A built from a 14 year old is just has deadly has a built from a 40 year old" Lord of war

EFCC1: 5 SA soldier killed in an helicopter crash while on patrol...RIP to d dead

andrewza:

To give more detials. It was a A109 in the kruger national park. And it was a anti rhino patrol

Since there still a investigastion not much can be said on the cause. Though A109 where grounded not long ago due to manfuctor deffects discoverd.

andrewza:

Yes. But it is true non the less.

patriot4: Why are your boys not in mali ?

agaugust:


where is @snydergp and @msauza ? both KIA or MIA in CAR ?

andrewza:

We where never asked. Ecomog dose not SA since the SAS drakensberg insodent.

Money. With out montary support SA will not deploy a force so far from her borders unless it was only a small force. And what the point of sending a few hundred in to mali.

Not our problem really. If the securty in Mali get bade both Nigeria and Chad will suffer. Hence those to sent a large force. How ever SA has only limted inrtisted in mali(we funded some museum) and has no extrimist islamic force.

Those are logical resaons. How ever since Zuma did say if the UN/AU put in mission in place SA would provide men. I would go with the first one has the resone.

agaugust: ...dictators like laurent gabgbo of ivory coast...

andrewza:

And the point of bring out that is.

i thought south africans say AK-47 rifle is outdated, why did they die when child soldiers fired AK-47 bullets on south african army in CAR ?

patriot4: Can someone end this topic please ?
I am starting to have pitty for the South africans.
At the begginning I just couldn't take the level of ignorance they were using to mock us, now I just feel sad for them.
Please moderator, end this topic.
