Henry120: Sad the pathetic state of South-Africa has turned your koevoet operator into a common tire changer in Nigeria.
Very sad.
Mr Lotz was not just an ordinary mechanic, he was an operator who among his duties could as well fix scrappy military vehicles and give them life. Such people with that skill are much needed in military.
Henry120: the Medical Research Council puts the figure at 32 482. The MRC' s estimate is close to the figure from the Department of Home Affairs, which is 30 068. This is a third more murders than reported by the SAPS, a discrepancy of more than 10 000 murders.
So, while the Democratic Alliance leaflet "Fight Crime" puts the average daily murder rate in South Africa at 55 murders every day, the Medical Research Council's statistics reveal that 89 murders are committed, on average, every day in South Africa.
This is your sh1thole of a country. You have absolutely no insurgency, yet 89 people are murdered everyday in South-Africa.
89 people!
The people of SA do not live under devastation. Nigerian citizens are. It will not help you to go on and on about murder rate of SA. There are many people who were killed in Nigeria than in SA, excluding Boko Haram victims. We have shown it here with statistics, proven and tested. The only part that works negatively against SA is that murders committed were far more in stats in relation to total population.
Henry120: Fact is your celebrated koevet operator, could only get a job working for a Nigerian company as a menial mechanic.
Pathetic!
The uselessness of South-Africa in full glare.
The man was a mercenary and doing mercenary duties was his job. He did it in Afghanistan, Iraq, Sierra Leone, Angola, Indonesia, etc. He earned a lot of money from it and Nigeria was no way better from what he was doing, he merely wanted to milk it out of its oil money.
The stu.pid henry knew about Nigeria's supposed procurement of REVA vehicles, but when photos of SA mercenaries came through, he hid his face in the sand and persistently denied SA mercenary involvement. Here is his comment from beegeagle.
Henry on March 9, 2015 at 4:20 pm This is great news. The IFV must have been the 23mm MTLB.
agaugust: You have no new jam proof torpedoes, you have the old ones that came with your bank loan submarines and more modern versions are now in the market. Contralto V does not even jam torpedoes, it misleads them by producing many other targets under the ship.
Thiza: PROOF STARING TO COME IN OF SOUTH AFRICANS FIGHTING BOKO HARAM
A private South African para-military specialist has been killed in an attack by Nigerian Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.
Former Koevoet member Leon Lotz, of KwaZulu-Natal, is among scores of former South African security force personnel helping to train government and allied forces to fight the insurgents.
The group of which Lotz was a member is believed to be contracted to the Nigerian government. It does not have the support of the South African government.
Lotz and five others, including another foreigner and four Nigerian soldiers, were killed on Monday near Maiduguri.
The nationality of the other foreigner is not known.
Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria's north-eastern Borno state, has been the scene of intense fighting between Boko Haram and pro-government militias fighting alongside government troops.
About 80 South Africans are providing assistance to the forces engaging Boko Haram in the form of advice on military tactics and intelligence gathering, and training in the use of heavy weapons and advanced fighting techniques.
Lotz's neice, Vanes-Mari du Toit, posted on Facebook: "What an absolute honour knowing you. You fought for what was right, always had the best advice.
The news this morning stated that the other foreign soldier is either a Chadian or Niger soldier, but he was black. They were killed from friendly fire by high rate of incompetency amongst Nigerian soldiers.
agaugust: My Nigerian countryman medical doctors are saving the lives of your HIV sick South African half-wits. So much for your claims of better universities than Nigeria, you cannot graduate enough doctors from your 50 million man population.....most of you are illiterate black parasites permanently on free food and cash hand out list of ANC government.
Work you will not work, school you will not go, so which one now? Nation of wasted generations .
Look to what this dummy is saying. SA has enough doctors for its 50 million population. The only problem is that they are in conflict with the remuneration that the public hospital doctors get. They want to be paid more with better benefits, like cellphone allowances, car allowance, housing, entertainment, etc. Hence after they graduate they only do their community service at public hospital and thereafter emback into private service either establishing their own or working for top class SA private health facilities which pay competitive salaries. It is here you will never see incompetent Nigerian doctors and others.
However, incompetent Nigerian doctors who cannot do some certain medical procedures, like major surgeries, Organ transplants, like heart, liver and kidneys are employed at public hospitals earning peanuts. All that they could do according to SA medical law are circumcisions, lacerations, stitching wounds, Checking high blood pressure, blood tests etc.
Henry120: Actually they aren't. Your koevet operator turned mechanic worked for a Nigerian company.
The. company is not Nigerian, it is founded by South African, a former Executive Outcomes operator who hires mercenaries from SA and base them in Nigeria where their services are needed. The is no law in Nigeria which bans mercenaries from helping any party in conflict, hence the headquarters are based in Lagos.
Second, land ownership is irrelevant to the confines of this debate, as is crime.
Yet again, when the pathetic record of your military is pointed out, you resort to off topic posting.
Reminder: Nigerian Army allowed Boko Haram to build a Caliphate the size of Belgium, kill 4000 Nigerian civilians and make 1,5 million people homeless.
agaugust: You are wrong, the Nigerian Napoleon Major General Lamidi Adeosun who commands our army and cleared Bama in world record time is a Muslim....Caliphate destroyer....Lamidi is a Nigerian Muslim .
It is only a stupi.d that can creep in the mind of people and delete their ideologies.
stillchris: bwahahahahaha.... just beg me to enlighten you instead of stylishly asking for it. why would i be nervous when you own link proves what i've been saying.
notice the cobras, t-55, vickers etc.. are now missing in recent clips? do the maths genius.
You flatly denied that there were no South Africans in Nigeria, dummy.
stillchris: story says he was a mechanic. just glad it proves my point.
Former Koevoet operators could perform multi tasks. One koevoet operator was a mechanic, medic, pilot that could fly helis, fighters, espionage, etc. They were highly trained dummy.
stillchris: i know i've caused you so much pain today. but sh1t happens brah.
i said earlier that some contractors are in the country for on the field training of some new equipments. and your own source proved me right.
Lotz is reportedly from KwaZulu-Natal, and was involved in the support and maintenance of vehicles used by the Nigerian army in their ongoing offensive against Boko Haram
too bad we lost a mechanic. *sob*
That man is a bloody former koevoet member, dummy. The story is just a cover up but there are many merc in Naija who are communicating with Afrikaners in SA on daily bases.
Natie van Coller Leon Lotz an ex-koevoet died in in Nigeria after a contact with Boko Harim on monday night. I've known Lotz and he was one of the true characters of the SWA conflict. R.I.P my Brother in Arms. You'll be missed but your legend will always linger.
stillchris: i did say contractors are in the country for on the field training of equipments recently acquired. and this further proves it.
Lotz is reportedly from KwaZulu-Natal, and was involved in the support and maintenance of vehicles used by the Nigerian army in their ongoing offensive against Boko Haram
no foreign mercinery is involved in any fighting. dumbass
You are such a mudafaka. SA former soldiers are experts in every field. Mechanics, Battle, Aviation, etc. They are trained to do everything in one.

Stop your lies dummy. You wouldnt want to believe.
ONLY ONE SUBMARINE WILL CAUSE THE WHOLE OF NIGERIAN NAVY A HAVOC. CURRENTLY THEY DO NOT HAVE A SHIP THAT CAN STOP IT. IT WILL R.APE THE WHOLE OF NN, PERIOD.
