A Muslim major in the South African Defence Force (SANDF), who came under fire after refusing to remove the headscarf she was wearing under her beret, might have won the battle against the practice - not only for her but for other women in the force.

The SANDF on Wednesday announced that it was considering allowing women serving in the army to wear headscarves as part of the military dress code.

He said the move came after engagements between the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) and the chaplaincy of the SANDF.

He said the interim measure to grant relief had been welcomed by the Military Command Council (MCC) and an instruction to effect this ratification was being developed.

Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said she was satisfied with the case being withdrawn.
