  • SA Intelligence School 1985 Intake.
    Valuable original video material of the National Serviceman's training and time at the SA Intelligence School during the height of the Border War of South Africa. After training, companies were deployed to the Border to do operational duty.
    The SA Intel School was siuated in Kimberley under the Command of Col C.H Van Zyl(Retired as Maj. Gen). The RSM was WO 1 A.M Blignaut.
    Thanks to WO 1 AM Blignaut, this video can be shared with the world.
    This video is dedicated to all Intelligence Corps veterans and those that paid the ultimate price.

    My late husband David Querido was a 1986 intake. He was extremely proud of his insignia, his training and his country. Not sure what company he was in, but he loved every minute of it and spoke fondly of the ups and downs until his passing

    July 1979 intake at 6SAI and transferred to 11 Commando. When we arrived there, they'd all left for the Border. The base then became a training base for Intelligence and Burgersake. My sergeant was Charlie Laubsher who later became Sgt Maj of the Army. I remember RSM Blignaut and our Coy CO Maj Bat Nel. I cleared out in Jul 1981.

      The SADF was stronger than the Rhodesian Army because it was far larger.
      The Rhodesians were far more experienced in combat.
      The SAS was mainly Rhodesians, but had some foreigners including a few South Africans.
      The RLI did have a lot of South Africans.
      The RLI was a para-trained regular infantry regiment. The SAS and Selous Scouts were Special Forces.

    Genuine question. I spent several years in SA as a child in the 1970s. We lived in the Cape. I only every heard English spoken, and at school everything was in English. I notice in most documentaries about the SADF the main language is Afrikaans. What would happen if you turned up for your National Service unable to speak Afrikaans?

      Believe you me, even those that did NOT understand Afrikaans at all, learned very quickly. There was a chap from Kenya in our Company - very much soldier material (fit & intelligent) - had never even heard of the Afrikaans language before - he passed his basics with flying colours & took the JLs course - he finished his 2 years as a 2Lt, VERY fluent in Afrikaans!

    I want to serve in such an army, not in this army today that hates its own homeland, tradition, culture and history, in a multicultural army, in a war I would fear these comrades (often sleepers from terrorist organisations) more than the enemy. I mean today the army even has transgender people, LGBT people, in a war they would all flee!

Many of them did not agree with the policies but were dedicated to safeguard a land they called home. Just for the record many Black South Africans also served in the SADF (prior 1994) out of their own free will where White South Africans were legally compelled to complete National Service.
