A SANDF soldier and a civilian he allegedly tried to sneak into the military's early preparation for President Cyril Ramaphosa's inauguration have been charged with threatening national security, the defence force said on Friday. Spokesperson Brigadier General Mafi Mgobozi said the duo were caught well ahead of the inauguration on May 25.
He said the Military Police apprehended the soldier at the Thaba Tshwane military base on May 17 and charged for allegedly threatening national security and for helping a civilian impersonate a military officer, an offence under the Military Supplementary Disciplinary Measurements Act. The civilian was apprehended for allegedly impersonating a military officer and for threatening national security.
