Pity that this is a very small percentage of the south African police department. Unfortunately the slow, overweight, lazy majority overshadows the hard working, fit, competent minority .

[@moletetefo9251]

Bro...this should be mandatory in South Africa, like every month...SA police are a joke...

[@Chi__22]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kagi2784]

The cool drink loving overweight ones.

[@Nomngcefe]

Special Units got time to train, most of the time they doing nothing

[@phillemoncornelius1058]

Your negativity doesnt help,majority are not overweight as you saying,its always white people talking shit about SA painting it as a shit hole and yet the same people are still staying in SA

[@user-jz2mx1nl4d]

That tall guy has the team

[@moletetefo9251]

He should be minister of police, not these potbelly guys...

[@mbatjakamboua173]

Thought it was Mabena ready to disappoint again until he started shooting

[@mpeshkond4251]

That's an upgraded Mabena

[@Mongezi44]

I honestly believe SAPS is capable of eradicating a majority of major crimes and syndicates. It's unfortunate their leaders have no interest in serving anyone but their pockets.

[@Ghoulza]

they are capable all they have to do is arrest ANC leaders and leader of the police then

[@MissOndela]

Thank you!!!!

[@kingsman3087]

what you typed is impossible

[@simphiwemarule2803]

They are extremely capable. Just shackled by politicians and foreign funded NGO's

[@user-by4kj1yt8k]

This should be on the news, it's impressive, teamwork

[@1ST-Current]

The question is why did this not make the news.

[@richman604]

They should train like this every 2nd day.

[@angelodebuys514]

😂😂😂

[@htalnaphtal2696]

Especially on Mondays and Fridays

[@Ghoulza]

these are special police units not normal SAPS

[@Ghoulza]

Just to give you an idea how specialized they are. Training cause is 15 months and it can take up to 3 years to become fully qualified.

[@1ST-Current]

Once per week. Physical exercise is only about 20%, at most, of the training they need.

[@User40919]

It's my first time seeing so many fit South African police officers.

[@sivuyilehendrickralarala4409]

[@lazarusramaube8291]

This can never be the common Police,the weight and agility are dead giveaways

[@letsbehomiz1549]

Mazibukos and Mabenas should take note and stop focusing on coldrink.

The only 5 people in the force capable of completing this course. Nice.

[@trumpetariel6689]

It's a shame you trained only 5...the rest are good as useless.... And now you also deploy soliders to drc they won't make it..... The training is quack in sa

[@ChadAliKE]

Couldn't help noticing the same. Small african country such as rwanda is more rigorous in training

[@gontse1386]

There's more than 5, the others are in the country dealing with major cases, the task force is understaffed though

[@Ghoulza]

these are elite units, only country elite units participate in this challenge, our special task force only has around 90 member in total and the reason is the very harsh training and selection processes

[@isoboy1000]

South African task force took No.16 and South African special operations took No.46

[@Colin8979]

Are there 2 SA Teams participating in the event this year? Kind regards.

[@armywarhog8247]

Yes there two teams

@@armywarhog8247 special task force and national intervention unit. , intervention unit is new to me, but I believe they do fall under SAPS

How is this unit different from the saps stf or are they under the same umbrella?

[@techmansa]

they are a special branch. probably 10 percent are like this

[@Ghoulza]

@@techmansa less than 10% im afraid, there are only 90 task force members in operation, which means around 10% of them are here participating,

Yes, on FB. Why don't they go there and show their mettle? Why is it that Nigerians always see competition with SA? SA does this, and then Oga comes. Nigeria can do it better, just do it and stop focusing on SA.

If I'm to believe that this is SAPS then I definitely don't live in SOUTH AFRICA, caus the SAPS that serve us is definitely not close to this video.
