	South African Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The South African military evolved within the tradition of frontier warfare fought by popular militias and small irregular commando forces, reinforced by the Afrikaners' historical distrust of large standing armies.
		After the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, General Jan Smuts, the Union's first Minister of Defence, placed a high priority on creating a unified military out of the separate armies of the union's four provinces.
		The South African 2nd Infantry Division also took part in a number of actions in North Africa during 1942, but on 21 June 1942 two complete infantry brigades of the division as well as most of the supporting units were captured at the fall of Tobruk.

	Lesotho and the Central African region
		Despite the ostensible change of government in South Africa from white to African, the interior structure and centre of power still remain in white hands and perhaps the cabal that intervened in the region to crush dissent in the apartheid years is still the driving engine in the South African armed forces.
		South African relations with the rest of the Continent in the post-apartheid era have been characterized by clumsy, ineffective interaction.
		African people are weighing and analyzing the differences and contradictions and sifting through the information and eventually the SA intervention will be looked at in unfavorable light.

	South Africa National Defence Force Flags (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With the exception of the badge in the fly, the new flag of the SANDF is identical in colour and design to its immediate predecessor, which was approved by the Chief of the South African National Defence Force on 11 July 1994 and was flown between 11 November 1994 and 25 April 2003.
		Since the national flag is depicted in the canton of the South African Defence Force (SADF) flag and the ensigns of the South African Army, Air Force, Navy and Medical Services, it follows that the flags in question became obsolete with the adoption of the new flag.
		The flag of the South African National Defence Force has a green field with the national flag in the canton, and emblem in the lower fly (two swords, one anchor, and wings).

		South Africa faced strong criticism for its decision to send in troops to support Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili, whose government had almost collapsed after weeks of protests by opposition groups accusing him of rigging elections in May.

	Taking the SA Army into the Future - African Defence Review No 14, 1994
		In considering the role and tasks of an Army and the nature of warfare in the situation we are facing in the RSA at present and in the foreseeable future, one has the problem of politics.
		In terms of this approach, the SA Army should scale down in accordance with the established threat levels and financial priorities, but it is imperative that it retains the ability to reconstitute itself within a reasonably short time.
		Should the Army be requested to assist the SAP or the Peace-keeping Force to ensure stability in a particular area, it must execute its tasks autonomously with its own doctrine using its own equipment and weapons.
