14 South African Infantry Battalion [1] is a motorised infantry unit of the South African Army.
14 SAI [2] was established on 1 January 1994, at Umtata, Eastern Cape as a result of the amalgamation of Transkei Defence Force into the SANDF. [3] [4]
Another unit, 13 SAI was amalgamated with 14 SAI by the late 1990s.

SANDF's Motorised Infantry is transported mostly by Samil trucks, Mamba APC's or other un-protected motor vehicles. Samil 20,50 and 100 trucks transport soldiers, towing guns, and carrying equipment and supplies. Samil trucks are all-wheel drive, in order to have vehicles that function reliably in extremes of weather and terrain. Motorised infantry have an advantage in mobility allowing them to move to critical sectors of the battlefield faster, allowing better response to enemy movements, as well as the ability to outmaneuver the enemy.
