SANDF confirms border operations are under-resourced
31 July 2018
Today’s announcement by the head of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) that the army does not have the resources to secure our borders is of great concern.
General Solly Shoke today admitted at a press conference in Pretoria that the SANDF does not have the resources or adequate equipment to secure the country’s borders, admitting that our porous borders are not under our military’s control.
The issue of border security is not just about the number of soldiers deployed at the border but about the broader resource problem which they face.
The DA has long held that the ANC government is incapable of dealing decisively with illegal immigration and General Shoke has confirmed this today.
