SANDF slams ‘misleading’ social media videos as propaganda
The SANDF condemns misleading social media videos portraying it as disorganised, calling them a propaganda attempt to undermine morale and public confidence.
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has condemned the circulation of videos on social media platforms that ‘show misleading content about the SANDF’.
According to Bloemfontein Courant, the SANDF in a statement noted that the videos aim to portray the national defence force as disorganised and ill-disciplined.
“The videos are further meant to demoralise our dedicated military professionals. It is clear that those who are sending these videos are on a propaganda drive, and clearly targeting the South African population and members of the SANDF to doubt their defence force,” the statement reads.
The SANDF emphasised its commitment to professionalism and integrity, urging the public not to believe misleading content shared online.
“We will not allow our soldiers’ spirit and morale to be affected by such malicious acts by those behind the propaganda. The SANDF stands united and will continue to serve our country with honour and unwavering commitment.”
