There is an old adage doing the rounds in the Militaries around the world that ‘it is only those of us who have served or are currently serving who will appreciate the value of our members in uniform.
There are more and more incidents of explosives that are crossing into South Africa through the borders illegally. It is now causing sleepless nights to our security forces and the Officer Commanding Joint Tactical Headquarters Limpopo Colonel Choene Samuel Mabotja in particular. Members 10 Anti-Air Regiment in a joint operation with the South African Police Service confiscated the explosives which were 125 Super Power 90 amounting to around R37 000.00 according to the Bomb Disposal Unit from the SA Police Service in Musina.
The two suspects who were carrying the explosives managed to evade arrest but only after dropping the bag. A Case was opened with the SA Police Service Musina and the explosives were booked in.
