SANDF urged to serve and protect

SAfm — President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged members of the South African National Defence Force to serve the nation with great respect and humility during the 21 day nation-wide lockdown which began last night. He was speaking at the official deployment ceremony of soldiers at the Doornkop army base in Soweto last night. These SANDF members were called in to support the police to help stop the spread of the coronavirus infections in the country which now stands at over 900 with fears that this could soon surpass the 1000 mark soon. Ramaphosa said SANDF members are called upon to defend South Africa from this invisible enemy.
