Legacy SF Gen Bornman 7 Danie Theron Combat School

3 years ago

Brigadier General Cornelius Jansen Bornman speaks to us about his distinguished career in the South African Army. He started in 1965 in the Army Gymnasium. Sixteen years were in command positions - the last as Commanding General – Special Forces Brigade (1995-1999). He also completed various staff courses which are rated higher than an MBA by me.

In this episode, he talks of the Danie Theron Combat School where he was twice, first as a Major in charge of counterinsurgency training (1977-1979), and then later as the officer commanding (1984-1988). During the second period, South Africa had immense internal problems, violent demonstrations, and riots. Gen Bornman, then a Colonel, oversaw the training for urban warfare including all legal aspects. Indeed, a fascinating conversation with a senior officer. If you have questions for the General, leave them below. Please subscribe and activate the bell to be informed of new episodes.
