Re: Inside the SANDF plan to spend R55,000 per soldier on new uniforms
If it’s one topic that does not surprise me much it’s the price of clothing, hell just about every plain old jacket goes over R2k, pants over 1k, shirts near 1k, and quality boots much more. Then they must also budget on the logistics which I can expect will be much more, and finding and paying for sizes that should not be in the military. I remember in my younger days I could walk into a shop and buy a year’s worth of work clothes, have them tailored and still it did not break the bank, I simply don’t have that kind of cash lying around these days.
Some prices in this debate must certainly be inflated, but then 50K sounds much to some simply because we are old :)

I think the same scammers may have done a version for solovair boots. Local domain with across the board deep discounts.

Remarkable similarities between the Lowa fake and this one
Online shopping is not for cissies or somnambulists it seems.

Re: Inside the SANDF plan to spend R55,000 per soldier on new uniforms
Pretty much what I was issued with as a NDP in 1988. A beret instead of a cap, and also a jersey. The "warm jas" we could only wear on guard duty or on field exercises, and we had to return that when we klaared out. That thing was sif man, especially after an opfok wearing it.
Seriously though, in any government where governance applies, for such a large procurement order, huge discounts should be at play.
