New Reserve Force insignia still on the to-do list

All is not smooth sailing when it comes to the new names of 52 SA Army Reserve Force units, with old insignia and uniform, in some cases, declared off-limits on parade grounds and no changes yet made to cap/beret badges, shoulder flashes and other identifying insignia.
When the name changes were announced in August 2019, it was made clear established uniforms such as the Transvaal Scottish kilts would not be part of the “new order” of the landward force’s part-time component. Renamed regiments and units would have a three-year window to come up with new badging and identifiers, including unit colours. Colours and battle honours would go into regimental and unit museums.

Brigadier General Gerhard Kamffer.
The man who drove and successfully concluded the renaming of SA Army Reserve Force units and was also instrumental in adding value to this component of the national part-time military corps appears to be past his sell-by date.
A 17 February SA National Defence Force (SANDF) Bulletin, in addition to numerous promotions to the rank of brigadier general, also carried a number of transfers.
One of these was that Brigadier General Gerhard Kamffer, Director SA Army Reserves, would from 1 March be Director: Project Koba-Tlala. This ambitious project aims to provide part-time soldiers with skills ranging from agriculture to security. These will then enable them to earn income when not in uniform and at the same time boost local economies. The project is a Chief SANDF (General Solly Shoke) one and enjoys the support of Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.
