Boshof Commando

Boshof Commando was a light infantry regiment of the South African Army.

It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve.

This Commando was mainly used in this era for area force protection, search and cordons and stock theft control in assistance to the local police.

[1][2] The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to the Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula.
