Thieves breach security at SA Air Force Base

[dualmeister]

Thieves managed to breach security at a SA Air Force base and break into an office at the weekend.

Hoedspruit Air Force Base, on the border of the Kruger National Park near Mozambique, is home to 19 Squadron, a helicopter unit.

SA National Defence Force (SANDF) spokesperson Brig-Gen Mafi Mgobozi confirmed the incident but did not provide details, other than to confirm the break-in occurred at the finance office at the base.

The break-in allegedly occurred on Sunday evening and an angle-grinder was used. Cash and other valuables were reportedly taken.

Theives? Shouldn't that be alleged suspects who allegedly breached security at an Air Force base?

My moneys on inside job.

I know AFB Hoedspruit well.

I did a few camps there back in the day when we had a defence force.

It's 24 square kilometers and the buildings are widespread.

I bet either a inside job or the security is just nonexistent as is the defence force.

I also bet there were arms and ammunition targeted but they say office............

Is our SANDF also an SOE?

No, they're not an enterprise. They're a government department.

 

[grok]

Never mind, aren't air force bases national keypoints, or don't we care anymore since Zuma ****ed that up as well?

Maybe air force bases are only national key points in a western paradigm, despite me getting tired or repeating that again.

Where was the ADT security company, are they not responsible to keep our soldiers and police men safe in the evenings?

 

[pinball wizard]

No, they're not an enterprise. They're a government department.

So, does that make the institutionalised corruption better or worse than at an SOE?

Scorpions and spiders aplenty.

Found a baboon spider on the bed once on a farm there where my brother works. Found a snake (red, white black bands) in that same room.

And let's not start with the mambas

You kinda appreciate Joburg once you're back from a visit
