9 South African Infantry Battalion is a motorised infantry unit of the South African Army, designated seaborne.
What was previously known as the South African Cape Corps (SACC) (Afrikaans : Suid-Afrika Kaapse Korps (SAKK)) was renamed the 9 South African Infantry Battalion (9 SAI) in 1992.
On 31 March 1992, all SACC units were disbanded. The next day 9 SAI was established in their place. [1]
