Army names 6 soldiers killed in the Northern Cape training camp blaze
A veld fire spread through the South African National Defence Force's Lohatla training centre in the Northern Cape on Friday.The SA National Defence Union has called for an inquiry into the deaths of six soldiers who were killed in a training camp fire in the Northern Cape on Friday.
Meanwhile, the SA National Defence Union called on the SANDF to launch an inquiry to establish the cause of the incident. Experts have blamed military budget cuts for the tragedies that have befallen the army in recent weeks. According to founder Imtiaz Sooliman, the intervention came after the SANDF made an urgent request for clothing, underwear, hygiene packs, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, face cloths, hand towels, sanitary pads, energy drinks and blankets. "Gift of the Givers teams are loading our truck in Johannesburg with the items requested while team members are sourcing additional supplies from wholesalers this morning before embarking on the seven-hour journey," said Sooliman.
