“I never saw something like this before,” said Ms Ntswaki Mofokeng when, she saw multiple rocket launcher firing during the SA Army Artillery Open Day in Potchestroom on 23 August 2008.

She was one of the women from government and non-governmental organizations invited by Chief of the South African Army, Lieutenant General S.Z. Shoke to the SA Army Artillery Open Day as part of women’s month celebration.

The Chief of the Army guests joined other groups from the Reserves and public who came from different parts of North West Province to witness this event. Most of those women had never seen artillery guns, let alone seen them firing.

“It was a learning curve for me. I always see these machine in the movies”, said Sylvia Ndlovu.

The group thanks the Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General S.Z. Shoke for inviting them to such an occasion.
