Last week’s black-out at the Dunnottar military base – the second in six months – is not an unusual occurrence at SA National Defence Force (SANDF) bases and facilities, according to Kobus Marais.
“Having no power at military facilities and installations is not on. They should be treated as national strategic facilities and should never be without power,” the Democratic Alliance (DA) shadow minister of defence and military veterans told defenceWeb.
Now in his second stint as the major opposition party’s defence and military veterans watchdog, Marais accepts he is a go-to for complaints about matters ranging from personnel through to the condition of equipment and lack of services, including electricity and water. In this regard he was on the contact list of SA National Defence Union (Sandu) national secretary Pikkie Greeff when the lights again went out at the east Gauteng base.

Dunnottar military base.
Six months after legal intervention by the SA National Defence Union (Sandu) saw power restored to the Dunnottar military base, the military trade union has again had to go the same route after power to the Engineer Formation base was cut.
A Sandu legal letter dated 22 April has it the electricity supply to the far eastern Gauteng base was discontinued this week apparently due to the result of non-payment by “either the Department of Defence (DoD) or Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) to the Ekurhuleni Metro”.
The Sandu lawyer’s letter addressed to the three most senior people in the Department of Defence and Military Veterans (Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, Secretary for Defence Gladys Kudjoe and outgoing national defence force chief, General Solly Shoke); as well as Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Patricia de Lille is copied to the SA Army Engineer Formation GOC and the base OC.
