9.1.3 Border safeguarding The SANDF cannot, with the limited funding available, deploy the appropriate number of soldiers to the borders, required for the effective monitoring and patrolling of the borderline. We re-iterated that in order to fully secure our borderlines, a sufficient number of soldiers should be deployed to conduct foot, air and vehicle patrols. The SANDF's readiness to patrol the border largely depends on the rejuvenation of the defence force to ensure that appropriately skilled and young soldiers are trained and ready for deployment. Attention should be given on how the Reserve Force will be utlised to strengthen presence along borderlines. Detailed information regarding the implementation of Operation Corona remains outstanding.
