    Our national police force doesn’t exactly cover itself in glory day in and day out, although there are plenty of SAPS officers who do put their lives on the line to try and keep South Africans safe.

    We salute you.

    As for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), we also salute you, but from a safe distance because your tank drivers are not to be trusted.

    Ths video, from a training session, emerged today:

    That’s really not ideal.

    I’m not sure what’s worse, the initial veering off course or the wild applause that follows the successful reverse. I shudder to think what a parallel parking effort would look like.

    The video above is basically the tank version of what happened at Dr Richard Maponya’s memorial service last month.

    I’ll jog your memory:

    There has been much mockery and derision thrown SANDF’s way since the tank video spread, with SANDF going on the record to say it was not impressed with those who have joked at their expense.

    Must be day one of exploring the internet.

    More from IOL:

    In a statement sent amid all the brouhaha, the SANDF said it had “noted with concern” the video clip on social media platforms depicting an SA Army Rooikat Light Armoured vehicle involved in an uncontrolled swerving towards spectators in SANDF uniform.

    “There were neither injuries suffered nor damages reported. The SANDF can confirm that the incident happened during a practice run for the Armed Forces Day 2020 Capability Demonstration at the Roodewal Bombing Range. The Range is a controlled area that is utilised by SANDF personnel and equipment.

    “It is regrettable that there are individuals who hide behind pseudonyms whilst intentionally portraying the SANDF negatively by posting and or commenting adversely against it.”

    That’s an epic sense of humour fail.

    Own your mistakes, and the country laughs with you. Get defensive, and we laugh at you.
