COVID-19: South Africa’s neglected military faces ‘mission impossible’

The South African National Defence Force has suffered from terrible neglect over the past 25 years of democracy.

theconversation.com

South Africa’s military has been deployed in communities across the country to support efforts to contain the COVID-19 disease, and help save the lives of citizens.

In terms of the mission to combat COVID-19, the defence force will, among other duties, protect quarantine sites, deliver food and others essential supplies to mass storage facilities, help police restrict people’s movements, conduct road blocks and to curtail unrest.

But can it fulfil these duties? The South African National Defence Force has suffered from terrible neglect over the past 25 years of democracy. The result is that in this time of crisis, it may not be able to muster enough troops to maintain the lockdown.

That's terrible news, the lot of it. I'll admit as a layman in all things marine, I would've expected warships to be able to cope better though. I mean, they're not civilian cruise ships. Aren't there all kinds of safety measures in place to prevent the spread of bugs like Norovirus?

Over the weekend, a Chinese aircraft carrier sailed past Taiwan in a show of strength as the U.S. Navy continued to struggle with outbreaks on its military ships in the Pacific. The USS Theodore Roosevelt, in particular, has been badly hit by an outbreak and is currently docked in Guam.
While the American carriers have been sidelined, China’s Liaoning is the only one that is operating in the Western Pacific.
