SADF Section Leader Training Course (SAW Seksieleier Opleidingskursus) 

And pride! Current bunch are slack, poorly trained, ill-disciplined and overweight!

@@budgiebee7530 Hmmm. Interesting thought.

@@budgiebee7530 the alterative is what we have now ...crime and murders and unsafe citys.... stop living in a racist mindset .. or you will never develop into anything

...their were many positives to be gained from being a minion. A lot depended on your frame of mind and what you sought to achieve from the experience. Admittedly, for those of us who made it home again!

I was also in 2 Veld Genie in 86 January intake and went to 25 Field, 87 in Oshakati.

i was there in 78 a life time ago @@spr822

Why were u at war. Just because of people's skin colour

@@mogamedjumat7581Let me help you. One one side of the Bush war was white South Africans, And black Owambo soldiers from 101 Battalion. With San and coloured soldiers from SAKK on our side. Unita was black. The enemy planted land mines that mostly killed civilian people in un-armoured vehicles. The black Swapo enemy included non-blacks like Cubans and East-Germans. So, please tell me, how did you get to skin colour?

​@@mogamedjumat7581The fuck you talking about? You see this is the plroblem with the media they spread lies to gain SJW clout and split the Narrative. Apartheid in SA was not White hating Blacks, it was seperated development for blacks and whites. Both Races had their own beaches, schools, restrooms etc the Blacks ruined it all, they wanted to rule the country they didn't build and in return resorted to Communists for firearms and causing Terrorism(Bombing people btw) Nelson Mandela wasn't prisoned because he was Black you idiot he conspired to Murder people through terrorism and YOU FOREIGNERS Worshipped his Ass like the Messiah.

@@Deontjie those who are ignorant will always remain so..moet nie jou bekommer aan die gene wat nie eens weet wat onder hulle neuse gebeur nie.

@@mogamedjumat7581 , you are an idiot, we fought in an actual war, why does racism always have to rear its ugly head

UK power left SA around 1963 and the last white leader De Klerk was part of UK organizations. He recieved the command to hold a referendum where white people in South Africa voted to end apartheid and install either the ANC or IFP. It's all about influence and power of a nation or another nation.

Yes, i am feeling exactly the same

Yeah but not allowing anyone other than whites to use the toilets was never going to work

Nor without assistance

Weti hoe het nog niemand ANC gebomb met n drone of iets

By choice

We voted for this

I spend 2 year's SADF

@@monikalupp1137 No. White South African's voted in a referendum to give black people more rights and a voice in government. FW then handed the country to the ANC, not to black South Africans, but to the ANC specifically.

Well we can thank that traitor fw de klerk that sold this country out

An honourable job. Can be very scary and stressfull.

Me too 🇿🇦👋 You knew about stay soft🤔

i bet you literally saved a dozen ppls lives,right?

I remember could not crack you anymore

Do you know if the curriculum of this is aviable online ? My guess it`s the/a 6 week course. Way shorter than most of the NATO courses i`m aware of. Thank you for your time.

@@mrd7067 It was 7 months, the instructor at the beginning tells the recruits that the course is 7 months long in Afrikaans.

In the SADF we would do basics, then apply for leadership course, share 6 months after which they decided who will be NCO or Candidate officers" Another three months specialised training you would be a two liner, one pipper or gone altogether. The dudes in this clip has reported for the start of their leadership course.

Get Lost with the Racism bullshit , you can go to India , China , Muslim , Black Country's today, and all those Non White Country's put their race and culture first , but as soon as Whites want to protect their Race , Culture , Country's then we called Racist get fucked. Tell me why you think it's a 100% OK for Non Whites to protect their race , culture , religion , and country, but Whites are not allowed to. What do you think makes you so special?, Funny how none of those Non White Country's are called Racist or Supremist , None of those Non White Country's elevate Whites above their Non White Race groups , but All White Country's must change so those very same Non Whites can invade and take over White Country's, and if the Whites don't accept it , they called Racist. How about we Flood all Non White Country's with different Non White groups they don't get along with or want in their Country's. Very fuckin easy to sit there making claims about Racism and accusing Whites of it , but take a hard look at the Non white race groups before you dare call Whites the Racist , Whites don't have a Homogeneous White Country's anymore , but the 4 major Non White Race groups do , but I bet you don't call those Non Whites Racist. Some advice catch a wake-up. When you can give me a valid reason Non Whites can keep their country's 100% their Non white race groups, they don't have FORCED brainwashing of their kids to hate everything about their race , their kids are not doctored and told they must mix with other Race groups , Every Fuckin thing you accuse the Whites of been the Racist , the Non Whites get to do it all without been called any names. So fuck off with your Racist bullshit. The Black Race was the first to kill innocent Whites in South Africa , they drew first blood and showed the Whites we could not trust them , and that piece of shit Mandela who was a fuckin Terrorist , gets treated like a Saint, but he was bombing churches , night clubs , building and killing innocent Whites , but I bet you don't think that is Racist hey. You should educate yourself on the real history of South Africa and not the lies that sound good to your ears. The only Racist are Non Whites, Whites have Sacrificed their Country's, Race , Cultures, Religeon All for the benefit of Non Whites. Tell me, what have the Non Whites sacrificed for the white race ?

I agree, so many good things were thrown out for no reason.

3 SAI, Potch; agreed.

Specialist instructor 1 SAI 1979 - 1982. Protea Angola. Best days of my life. Salute to Capt Harmse whom I had to transport to a casafac chopper. Lying in a body bag at my feet in a Ratel 20.

1 SAI BN '81 F COY PL 2. We KAKKED! 2,4s full kit, pole PT, Buddy PT, Ratel wheels and tow bar, obstacle course. Hated it at the time, wish I could go back to those days now.

what was the point of this army?

@@kingsman3087 To stop the communism rot...unfortunately we handed it over on a plate to them in the end, and now look around you as the country falls apart since then.

Served 1988 Aug. Basic 7SAI.

7 SAI BOURKS LUCK! Near the pot holes😊

Does everyone usually know Afrikaans or do you occasionally get fellows that spoke just English?

@@CavingIn2022 My dad was an English Rhodesian, he served in the 80's, he knew almost nothing of Afrikaans and they made fun of him, he did make good friends though.

​@@CavingIn2022 SADF was conducted mostly in afrikaans whether you liked it or not.Most english soldiers could atleast take orders in the language and some like myself switched over and spoke Afrikaans most of the time. Lastly it is my opinion that Afrikaans might be one of the best military language for day to day operations. You don't want to be marched in english .

How good were they? Please explain to us how such a GREAT army took more than 10 years against inferior forces in the Border War and STILL couldnt close the deal?!

This term from my youth "Hallelujah"!None of us knew our luck at the time!

Invade? That’s a very funny perspective.

at the end of it all which one was left

Would have been hard to find those South African divisions wanting to go to war with Germany. Most Boers opposed doing so and for good reason. The British forced them.

@Gerhard van Niekerk Yeah, I suppose you are right. Sad.

That was general Awkenlek in North Africa. He commanded the S.à British Indian and Australian troops before Montey took over. Most of the hard work against Rommel was done by Awkenlek NOT Monty

@@faithfulservant83 Wrong! All SA soldiers that fought in ww2 were volunteers, most from english speaking south africans. Conscription was not used because of the huge resistance to fighting Germans in the boer community.
