South African Air Force only has 20 fighter-pilots left; submarine fleet needs 126 new submariners …
July 30 2008 The SA defence minister admitted in parliament today that the country’s entire air force only has twenty operational fighter-pilots left. And the navy is advertising for 126 new submariners including 59 technicians — for its fleet of 3 submarines, crewed by 30 people each…
Yet the SA Air Force is also supposed to be taking into operation 24 new Hawk and 26 Gripen fighter jets, recently purchased through the country’s fraud-riddled multi-billion Rand military hardware buyup.
* There’s one bright spot though, claimed SA defence minister Terror Lekota in answer to questions by the Freedom Front Plus’s MP Groenewald: four new fighter-pilots are now being trained…
A huge number of SA fighter-pilots and -technicians have meanwhile been joining the Australian air force which is still actively recruiting them.
* Among those top-skilled, battle-hardened men disappearing over the southern horizon are both the commander and his second-in-command at Nr 2 Fighter Squadron — the unit right next to the Limpopo river bordering Zimbabwe — and which is supposed to be operating these new fighters and guard the country’s borders.
And the commander of Nr 85 Fighter-pilot school — you know, that guy who trains new pilots — has also quit. Over the past three years, South Africa has lost 91 fighter-pilots and 822 jet-fighter technicians. And the Australian Air Force is still recruiting actively, reports Beeld newspaper.
Groenewald already warned the defence minister three years ago that the country’s Affirmative Action policies would cause the collapse of the Air Force. And now it’s happening. Lekota claims they are ‘being lured abroad by old colleagues’, however Groeneveld there’s a lot more serious stuff going on here:
* “The real crisis is caused by the huge number of skilled technicians we’ve lost – because air craft cannot fly without technical support. This situation is making SA extremely vulnerable to outside attack.’
Groenewald said the brain-drain was caused directly by the ‘strong feeling of uncertainty about their future’ among the white personnel. “Yet overseas they get acknowledgement of their excellent skills with good salaries, promises of foreign citizenship, good future advancement opportunities, safer, crime-free living conditions and a much better standard of living.
