The South African Security Forces Union has called on its national executive committee to analyse the performance of Defence and Military Veterans Minister Lindiwe Sisulu.

The union also wants its leadership to confirm her fitness to hold office.

The union says the culmination of events of last Wednesday, with police stopping a soldiers’ march to Union Buildings, has drawn attention to the state of the National Defence Force.

It accuses Sisulu of ignoring the need to engage with them against the backdrop of impoverished soldiers’ condition.
