defenceWeb Written by defenceWeb - 383 Military justice, in common with its civilian counterpart, is not generally known for speed as evidenced in the theft of weapons from a SA National Defence Force (SANDF) base in Centurion. The theft was uncovered in December 2019 thanks to information supplied by Democratic Alliance (DA) shadow defence and military veterans minister Kobus Marais. Nine months later he told defenceWeb the initial urgency around the case was no longer there and he would be asking questions of Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula. He said at the time the silence around the Tek Base weapons theft was another indicator of poor discipline in the SANDF.
