SA may have all the best military hardware in Africa but it is the worst trained.Recently they were butched with mere untrained rebels in the CAR.Interms of effectiveness in southern africa i would rate Zimbabwe as number 1.It may not fit in yo criteria but those guys were the ones who defended Kinshasa on the brink of collapse to the rebels,where did laurent kabila run to to ask for military help?it was Zim,why didnt he go to SA?it was Zim Army again which led the final assault that killed jonas savimbi in Angola,Zim army also helped fight the Renamo bandits in Mozambique.Again it also helped Namibia get its independence.Right now it is the one training the officers of the SADC standby brigade.It has deployed on UN missions more than any other country in africa.It has been asked to deploy in Kossovo,Somalia.Darfur region etc..if u want to see more interms of combat experience and past operations jus google ZNA and you will c that it has participated in many conflicts than any other country could.also remember it was the first country to deploy in DRC and it recaptured key towns and institutions among them the dam which supplied power to Kinshasa which had been taken by rebels.Zim may be a small army and doesnt have morden hardware but interms of combat experience it very lethal,Ask the CIA or the British, |
