The SANDF will undergo a major shake-up, army chief Lieutenant-General Solly Shoke said yesterday. At the annual state of the army briefing at Thaba Tshwane military base, Shoke said red tape was slowing down its 2020 Vision on how technology can best be used in the transformation and preparation of the army.
Shoke said the shake-up would start at army headquarters. “I want fewer commanders. The command span is too wide, with resources and assets too spread out. To be flexible we need to see it functioning smoother without red tape….”
Shoke said instead of outsourcing to private companies, they would ensure the military had capacity to deal with whatever situation arose.
Asked if this was why the special Works Unit had been established, Shoke said: “The Works Unit is vital for the SANDF. The current facilities owned by the defence force are going down in a bad way. The Works Unit will be used to rejuvenate these facilities.”
