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

After the battle of Paardekraal, the Senekal Commando joined up with General de Wet.

The last major battle was at Biddulphsberg on 29 May 1900, when this commando took positions in the mountains between Senekal and Ficksburg.

In this era, the commando was utilised primarily for area force protection.

[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.
