Look... they might be naturally lazy & grossly overweight... but they are good to go... as soon as they can find their guns 💪🏿🐸💪🏿 sandf

They look like part of a protective wall for defence

Didn't they go to DB? Things have changed in the military since my days

You have to ask....what exactly does these people do? Look how fat they are? I never seen this in any army. God have mercy on our souls when we have to go to war....luckily we have loads of training thats 1000 times better than this.

Really fit bunch just loafing around !

Do anc really think these guys can take on usa

DUBULAMKHABA!

Obviously there are no physical requirements in order to be in the SANDF...come as you are. God help SA if one day we actually needed them. 🙈

Are those soldiers this useless government must send them to exile and let them go on a diet when they reach 60kg then moer the shit out of them.

Why the state released them

Seems clear that little or no physical training takes place in the army anymore.

Hello, surely this is the incorrect photo ? These ultra fat guys must be from The African Camoflage Sumo Wrestling Club ? And these FATTERS are supposed to be the defenders of our nation ? They are all 10 meals ahead and 25 💩's behind.

TheThin41314045 Of course they have. I wonder how many of them will arrive in court in due date? Are they still getting their pay?

Far left has huge smile on his face. He knows that he will go free

Where is the guns.

africaupdates ...and they have one common denominator. 🤣🤣 Rich bellies

Obviously none of these guys are living on rat packs! Looks like they've been skipping the 2.4km runs and instead having seconds of everything at the canteen!

We have the country's security in the hands of these Fatty Boom Booms 🤔😱😳

These guys can only protect their next bowl of porridge .....

MbuyiseniNdlozi How so far soldiers protect us. That’s why they steal. They have nothing else to do

US Marines vs SANDF. A picture tells a story

All soldiers with umkhaba😲😲😲😲😂😂😂😂😂😂hebanna ase masole ke ma solanka, like really can they really protect us this people I doubt

I'm not surprised,just look at them.This is the outcome of boredom at work.SleepAndEat Mabena

Soldiers don’t steal. They organise

What happened to hiding people identity until proven guilty

What was the point of detaining them in the first place? If they are now released...

Are those the military food tasters?

Stay at home with full pay and benefits, to carry on with their criminal activities. SA is a gr8 country now if you're cANCer but allways fantastic if you're like me. Iamstaying gofigure 2Godtheglory

when it comes to the defence army the mind is the best weapon never mind the looks.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Remember at some stage SABC reported the recovery of the weapons, now they have taken a picture of Military Police as the accused people. If the Military Police are fat look at the SAPS members where you are, same WhatsApp group. Soldiers are fit for purpose guys plz.

Where are their barracks? KFC?

MbuyiseniNdlozi Most SAfricans are like this

I doubt these guys in the picture are SA defense force troops... If so, our immune system is compromised... I hope y'all just used a picture of Security Officials!

Wathi Mbalula baboshiwe nje zatholakala izikhali.But ucde Twitter wamtshela .Ziphi izikhali CR17

Are these the people who stole the guns or you deliberately trying to push some agenda?

Come WWIII we’re doomed, these dads are fat

3rd best army in africa.....Maybe navy and air force.They also multicultural but army is comrade employment. Not all but most.

So is the ones in the pictures?

Jesus take the wheel. Are they wearing bullet proof body suits? What are they feeding these guys?

Breaking into an Army base, stealing weapons, get to walk the streets to do the same or even worse. Just don’t use the K-word. For that you’ll get jailed. Eish? The bench is “sick”!

What do these soldiers protect us from? Balanced diets and exercise?

MbuyiseniNdlozi Put them away and leave them until they all are a 36! Disgusting lookalikes.....

Maybe they must check what else is missing 🙆🏾‍♂️

Ah we can just forget about these. I was hoping that these would be considered a threat and be given immediate attention.

Well, maybe they cannot run fast but what about rolling? Ja ne, all that KFC.

If these are not the suspects, its irresponsible to post this photo. SABC don't travel the road often travelled by fake news peddlers.

Madness fela ke lo

MbuyiseniNdlozi Those rifles are property of the government

They are all black soldiers?

MbuyiseniNdlozi Point of correction those are Military Police not the suspects...

MbuyiseniNdlozi Yimikhaba yodwa le...

Are the guys in this picture the accused?

MbuyiseniNdlozi The stomachs.....

MbuyiseniNdlozi 🤣😂 ba bolaisitse ke dimpa

MbuyiseniNdlozi KFC fans

They were supposed to not even get that bail they In dangered the whole country

I want one of those R4s. Just give me please.

MbuyiseniNdlozi They ate the rifles..

MbuyiseniNdlozi This is what I think will happen. If they did this for their own they in big shit. If they did it for someone in a high post or government, this is where White people will play their chess, suppress the incident knowing they will use that person later. That's white people.

WHERE ARE THE RIFLES?

MbuyiseniNdlozi Shouldnt they be charged for treason? These human rights thing has been taken too far, well above national security. Only in this God forsaken shitty country of the Anc.

There is no leadership in the SANDF its just a chaos

Fucking teletubbies!

Did they swallow these rifles?

Why are they so fat though.. What's going on there in the SANDF?

The tummies

What a disgrace to our country!

PoliticsL How are these fatties in the military ? Unbelievable !!

They need gym 🙃🙃

They must guard train cables

Soon the case would be withdrawn coz the state has no enough proof to prosecute as usual mnx🤔

They are doing nothing, that's why they are this fat, it's high time the department introduce gym equipment/facilities and make it a priority to gym.

Fat soldiers

So they are that big Sizofa moes during war haaaa yuuuu mihlolo

Y releasing them bcs Sandf must incarcerate them until those rifles are found bcs this weapons stealing CANNOT happen without the assistant of the same soldiers they know the story 1 by 1 promising to removing them from their duties we will know whereabouts of those rifles.

Is it them in this picture?

Stomachs full of corruption

Those rifles were stolen by the military police on the picture or you've decided to use this picture?

Yoh look at those stomachs, for military officials is that acceptable? Anyway I bet that was not the first sale that took place, they were just caught out.

Fizzy340 World war lll we are dead dead😂😭

Send 12 of them to Iraq

So SABC just choose this picture?

Of all photos kodwa🤦🏿‍♀️

Was it after lunch 🥗 🤔?

Are these the actual soldiers charged for the theft of the firearms or these is just the most appropriate picture of black soldiers you could find to use for this story?

And back to work in the same station no doubt?

What unhealthy looking soldiers.

The pic...are we safe maar?! 😂😂😂

I wonder how nsmy will appear?

MK veterans ,this fatties cant defend SA even our borders are a mess

Forgive them

Thought the military court will be taking care of this issue,SA courts don't have a say here.

Wow.

This guys are well fed and unfit. Not ready to protect the country

They are so fat with R4 rifle deals, they to take them to those fighting countries so the stealing minds stop. Mmmmmm South Africa some time those who suppose to be the example are busy doing nonsense that is costing civilians.

PoliticsL Clearly fitness tests are no longer required in the SANDF

😂😂😂😂😂this picture doesn't inspire confidence

PoliticsL All those guns where headed for EFF comrades.

Don’t SA soldiers have special military court (marshal)? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Our proud and well-fed South African National Defence Force! Viva ANC!

Abramjee Yoliswamakhasi excuse me !!

So guys for real our Defense force couldn't even protect the guns from theft?

I think this was an unlawful arrest with no tangible evidence against them. Media your guilty for putting unnecessary pressure on sandf to prosecute them.

DB......Dem-Belly FULL, but we-Hungry...........

Is this the right picture or you just used any picture because it can't be

South Africa at its best never mind release them next will be told they are innocent

Why are they that fat🙄😭

Initially we were told they won’t be released to avoid tempering with investigation. I hope they didn’t rush to arrest wrong suspects.

These are soldiers...eeehhh

Where is the rest of them? Only seeing 8 here

Big tummies mean we're bored just earning for nothing

This is very sad hope they are not back at work. This is high treason they must be lock up.

Imikhaba obhuti laba yoooh! Ngeke bagijima empini never 😂😂😂😂😂

Are they African?

Why are the soldiers soo fat?

Over weight, no, fat like hell. Not what a professional armed forces, should look like. Get them out off the barracks too patrol out borders.

That’s not how a military court works

They also take bribes at our borders, hence lawlessness reigns in this country.

Soft. It sends out the wrong message.

But you only showing 8 here mos, where is the other 2?

March vele

This is how people get illegal guns

Your soldiers must go for a gym aaah😂😂. With this WW3 loading....

Stomach out chest in..should go & patrol borders..

ALL FIT LADS

Look at all the belly fat - good life in the army.

Look at the mkhabas Military police no fittness nothing

Ya neh South Africa

And NO ONE is surprised except CyrilRamaphosa
