Ramaphosa deploys over 3 000 soldiers for EFF national shutdown | The Citizen

The deployment of the 3 474 SANDF troops for the EFF shutdown will cost the taxpayer more than R166 million.

About R50000 per trooper

Sounds like a bargain.

Probably more soldiers than protestors that would have shown up if they didn't give this nonsense so much publicity...

EFF insurrection squashed before it starts.

Any idea how tires suddenly appear out of nowhere close to busy intersections like R23 and Heidelberg road in Boksburg. The security company and metro spent some time clearing it up.

The same way looters and thugs suddenly appear when a truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere . . . Magic

Or when a plane crashes...

Tender rates. Got to factor the tender.

If we sell out to the Chinese do we get their police force? If they can lock down cities for Covid I'm sure they can handle the EFF.

I'd love to see how they got to this figure. They already getting their fixed salary per month. They have to now transport them so some diesel. And?

Yeah, that would be interesting to hear.

I think a lot has to do with estimates on deployment costs. Like you mentioned diesel, extra wear and tear. Military equipment gets very expensive on servicing when you start putting hours into it. Theoretically a soldier is supposed to consume many more calories when deployed as well. I think the costing is more of a combat based estimate imo.

Fair enough. But I highly doubt that this is something the ANC can calculate. I'm going with thumb suck.

Or many KFC meals.

You started well, then descended into the ordinary broederbond thinker.

You know the costs are not calculated at Luthuli House, right? Just because you are unable to calculate the cost it doesn't mean the educated people who are employed to deal with this stuff also can't.

Him showing up in Brackenfell will actually be a problem.

How so?

No it can definitely be calculated but like normal government budgets there will be a lot of fat and spending wastage there I'm sure.

Ammo.

Also, things like tanks, troop carriers, medical support etc.

Looks like Cape Town has had an early start.
