Defence on social media post regarding Grahamstown facility

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has noted a social media post by Mr Carl Niehaus regarding the state of a building in Grahamstown. The building in question belongs to 6 South African Infantry Battalion (6 SAI Bn).

The building in question is not occupied and therefore not being used for accommodation or any other purpose.

The Defence Works Regiment has conducted a scope of work on this facility, with the intention to refurbish it for future utilisation by unit members. Until such refurbishment has been completed, the building will remain unoccupied.

The SANDF remains committed to maintaining and upgrading its infrastructure to ensure that its facilities provide a conducive environment for the wellbeing of all members.
