Ramaphosa thanks SANDF for essential role during

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) had been “essential” in South Africa’s effort to confront the Covid-19 pandemic, said President Cyril Ramaphosa during his address to mark National Armed Forces Day on Sunday, 21 February.  The day was commemorated without the usual parades and demonstrations because of Covid-19 regulations and safety.

National Armed Forces Day pays homage to the 616 South African volunteer soldiers who died when the SS Mendi sank in the English Channel in 1917.

#changethestory: Shades of apartheid in treatment of landless By Opinion by Lorenzo Davids The current treatment of black and coloured township dwellers and landless people by the SAPS and the metro police is akin to persecution. From how the landless are engaged through to how ordinary maskless black people are sjambokked, the entire experience leaves one with a sense of a people being persecuted.

It was not only the year when social norms were drastically altered, but it also marked the resurgence of African radicalism. The COVID-19 pandemic both amplified the extreme corruption that had long taken place on the continent, and forced marginalised communities to mobilise against such injustices at a moment of great need.

(Photo by Darren Stewart/Gallo Images via Getty Images) Given government’s slow response to rolling out a Covid vaccine response, it appears that 2021 will be similar to 2020, with police officials having to continue to enforce various forms of lockdown regulations in response to successive waves of heightened Covid-19 infections, writes Guy Lamb. As it is the National Police Day on 27 January, it is pertinent to reflect on how the South African Police Service (SAPS) have fared over the past year, and the challenges that lie ahead in 2021, especially in relation to the policing of the Covid-19 regulations.
