Fire Power Demonstration by Armoured Vehicles at SA Army Combat Training Centre, Aasvoëlkop

Exercise Seboka is an annual SA Army joint conventional Exercise. The Exercise is being held at the SA Army Centre for Combat Training in Lohatlha in the Northern Cape over the period 8 - 19 October 2007. A force of close to 5 000, including 18 SA Army units and various support units from the SA Air Force, SA Navy and the SA Military Health Service are involved.

The aim of the exercise was to demonstrate the training of the SA Army units in operational art, deployment and all aspects of combat discipline. The exercise also serves as course support as it gives the students the opportunity to plan and execute mobile warfare operations and real time command and control under the supervision of experienced commanders.

Lieutenant General S.Z. Shoke (Chief of the SA Army) said that Exercise Seboka went exceptionally well, despite the tragic incident and complimented the soldiers and commanders on excellent result of their hard work in the rugged terrain of Lohatlha. The excellent display of soldiership by all the participants is an apt tribute to those members who lost their lives.
