Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Defence reported on Friday its concerns about the maintenance of the South African National Defence Force’s (SANDF’s) prime mission equipment (PME). In a press release, the Committee noted that it had had a meeting on Thursday with Armscor, the Department of Defence agency responsible, among other duties, for acquiring materiel and services for the SANDF. In particular, the Committee was concerned that, currently, spares for SANDF PME tended to be acquired on a reactive, and not on a proactive, basis. It called for the development and implementation of “pragmatic solutions” to ensure that PME was “adequate for deployment”.
