South African Armed Forces
| ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
The South African Armed Forces serve to protect 
South Africa and her allies from enemy threats targeting both her homeland and allied territories.
Recruitment
The South African Armed Forces have a place for all citizens, regardless of one's age, strength or citizenship, however, non-citizens must be from a pro-South African country.
Inactive Branches
The military lastly consisted of two branches, a home guard unit called the Pretorian Guard and a mobile unit, Parabats. The military was run by South African High Command.
South African High Command is a group of military leaders within the South African Armed Forces who advise the government and discuss matters pertinent to the military and safety of the country. The group comprises of the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, Branch Commanding Officers, Branch Executive Officers and Company Commanding Officers of the top 3 ranking branches. The Minister of Defense also serves the command in an advisory position acting as a liaison between government and military.

Pretorian Guard
The Pretorian Guard was South Africa's primary defense force which ensures the safety of her land at times of war. They patrolled the borders for enemy activity, practise local training exercises and are ready to strike the battlefield when the nation is under threat. All soldiers received regular supplies and daily training kits to rank up and gain experience in organised training battles. The Pretorian Guard was home to many of South Africa's Congressmen, cabinet, former presidents and those citizens who are committed to a political career back home.
Last known leadership of the unit was:
Commanding Officer: Brig. Gen. Vanessa1309
Executive Officer: Lt. Col. Harrin
Parabats
The Parabats were South Africa's fearsome mobile branch which deploys globally assisting her friends, allies and home nation. These soldiers were a highly skilled special forces group and are on high alert to strike the battlefield at a moment's call. Last known leadership of the unit was:
Commanding Officer: Col. Miyagiyoda
Training Division
The Training Division was the most junior ranking branch of the South African Armed Forces where soldiers were taught the basics of fighting, military structure, war mechanics and introduced to the social aspects of eRepublik.
Assegai
The Assegai, like the Parabats, was a mobile branch consisting of South Africa's heavy hitting soldiers and tanks. They were an elite, rapid response branch who could be called to arms at any time during the day.
The Assegai was dissolved into the Parabats in 2010 due to low numbers.
