SANDU’s OFFICIAL STANDPOINT REGARDING THE DEPLOYMENT OF SANDF PERSONNEL IN AREAS PLAGUED BY XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS

SANDU has taken note of the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, 

Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s announcement today that SANDF personnel will be deployed in areas plagued by on-going xenophobic violence.

SANDU wishes to place on record that it has no objection to the deployment of soldiers, wherever required, as long as this is done within the prescripts of the Defence Act (No. 42 of 2002) and the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

SANDU’s best wishes accompany all the soldiers involved.
