A video of a ‘drunk’ South African National Defence Force soldier is doing the rounds on social media. On Friday, 20 August, the Department of Defence said it had taken note of the video circulating on social media showing one of its members drunk in uniform and in public.
“The SANDF unreservedly condemns such disgraceful behaviour from our members since we view the military uniform as an important asset. Although the date and exact location of the video has not yet been established, the SANDF is working in close co-operation with the Tshwane Metro Police Division officials to determine all details surrounding this incident,” said the department.

The defence force confirmed that the drunk soldier was one of their own and has been absent without leave from his unit since 27 July.
“At present the military police officers are working tirelessly to determine his whereabouts, and bring him to book. The SANDF would like to state categorically that such behaviour cannot be tolerated from any of our members.
We can further confirm that when the member on the video has been found, he will face the Court of Military Justice for being on AWOL, and drunkenness,” said the defence force.
Meanwhile, Chief of the SANDF, General Rudzani Maphwanya has since issued a stern warning to all soldiers that the SANDF will not tolerate any ill-discipline.
He said drastic action will be taken against any member contravening the Military Disciplinary Code.
