SANDF denies deploying soldiers at #JusticeForCwecwe march

The SANDF denies claims that the army was sent to the #JusticeForCwecwe march in Matatiele, Eastern Cape, yesterday. The EFF has written to the National Assembly demanding answers. SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini says the department is conducting an internal investigation to establish how the SA troop ended up monitoring the march.

They are lying, Soldiers were deployed there, the question is by whom! What a failure government.

[OkkieRensburg]

You see how disorganised the SANDF IS have no idea what they do

[demforextrading]

They can't monitor the borders, but can monitor a peaceful protest. Make that make sense.

[LeonBester-zi]

He does not even know what is going on

[BluecollarjoeB]

Only the President can deploy units in country, no one else can without his signature.

[GuguShange]

Inganekwane

SANDF was visibly seen, they wouldn't have gone there if they were not instructed

[OkkieRensburg]

Not even the spokesperson of the SANDF know what’s going on very poor response from him

[MzamoAdoons-dn]

Ala Zimbabwe style, deny everything including the existence of the sun🙆🙆🙆😂😂😂

[SenzoMavimbela]

ANC has really made this country a joke guys, let forget kancane ngabelungu let us start questioning for real when will this torture of ANC against us African natives will end. Labantu don't even think we're human beings basijwayela kabi kakhulu

[Daniel-yhx]

So then the SANDF is claiming that the soldiers went rogue to join the protest?
If they were not deployed then they were A-wall. The concern is why the military has anything to do with the type of protest and why they were armed.

[RendaniNetshirungulu]

They failed in Congo now coming for citizens

[sandrankuna]

I give up really, are we in high school here, what needs to be investigated, someone gave the order and who is that?

[ReneeOlley]

Obviously they were ordered to go their.

[BluecollarjoeB]

Those pew pews need to be signed out of the armoury. To sign them out you need a reason—either a training exercise or operational orders.

[mphothulo]

maybe it was wrong for them to return from DRC, we fought to save them from M23 now they came to shoot an armed citizens

[LindokuhleMavundla-tkwu]

this gov is so usless anc must fockoff maan amakwere kwere ayabahlula

[msncube]

Then, it means anyone in government can deploy SANDF without the knowledge of the commander in chief the president or their generals. This is a great weakness for the country.

[malvernmudzingwa]

Why is Xoli unnecessarily argumentative? The spokesperson did not deny what was viewed by many all he said was there was no official deployment and there is an investigation going on to get clarification.

[mikejezile]

Most of the ANC votes come from the Eastern Cape. Hope next time they switch votes to ATM or

[MarenaPokola-uz]

Spoke person doesn't know where about of his members are at any given time, he'tells liars
