The conditions at Fort iKapa, as shared by the SANDU.
The Joint Standing Committee on Defence has said that conditions at Fort iKapa, where 146 soldiers for Operation Prosper are being accommodated, are not inhumane.
Last week, the SA National Defence Union (SANDU) demanded urgent action from the Department of Defence (DOD), describing inhumane and unsafe conditions, including a leaking hangar with no warm water for showers and unsanitary toilets.
The soldiers have been deployed to the Western Cape to assist with gang violence.
This, as R823 million has been allocated nationally for the SANDF to support the SAPS with priority internal tasks, focusing on a government-wide approach to stabilise crime.
