During this era, the commando was mainly used for rural area force protection as well as cordones and search operations, and assisting the local police in stock theft control.
The unit resorted under Group 34 at that stage.
This unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units. [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. [3]
