Today I started a 4-day oversight visit to our borders to assess the welfare of SANDF troops, the state of equipment and facilities, and the conditions under which our soldiers serve.
We will be focusing on Mpumalanga and KZN for this round.
This visit forms part of our ongoing efforts to improve the conditions of service and ensure that those who protect our borders are properly supported and equipped.

[BREAKING NEWS] Eleven-storey Botha Sigcau government building, Mthatha, Eastern Cape, on fire. The building houses at least nine provincial departments and critical land records.
Tune into #Newzroom405 for more developments on this story.
🔴 JUST IN 🔴
The tallest building in Mthatha has being set on fire.
The Botha Sigcau building which has many provincial departments is burning down.
The arson could be driven by two mutually inclusive dirty tricks:
1. To create rental property crises in Mthatha and let those who own private buildings cash in from government rentals
2. To burn down tender files which are subject to Hawks ongoing probe
Whatever it is, this confirms that Mthatha is a crime scene.
The installation of Archbishop Sithembele Sipuka is underway in Cape Town, and I send my heartfelt congratulations to you and the church at large!
