SA: Four of our stupid soldiers injure themselves with handgrenade

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The SA National Defence Force has suspended night training and navigation exercises at its Infantry School base in Oudtshoorn following an incident on Monday in which four soldiers were injured in an explosion.

Four soldiers were injured “following an explosion of an AP 65 grenade high explosive blind (previously fired, but not exploded) at the base’s training area,” the defence department said on Wednesday.

The incident occurred at about 8:40pm during a night navigation exercise.

One of the four soldiers was admitted to the Medi-Clinic in George and was in a serious condition.

The others were being treated at the military sickbay in Oudtshoorn.

Night training and navigation exercises had been suspended and would only resume once all training ranges had been confirmed to be safe.

A board of inquiry would investigate the incident, the department said. – Sapa
