forewordthis. The aim of the system is two-fold: to improve theSANDF's mission readiness through annual intakes ofyoung, fit and healthy members representative of SouthAfrica's population, and to provide development opportunitiesfor young people. By December 2005 theDepartment had trained and engaged 7 626 schoolleavers through the system since its inception in January2003. By January 2005, about 3 000 members werealready employed on a more long-term basis in the coreservice system. An MSDS intake of 4 304 members isplanned for 2006. This will bring the total strength ofMSDS members enrolled in the SANDF to 11 930. Thecombination of the MSDS, selective appointments to thecore service system and the effective implementation ofthe approved employer-initiated mobility exit mechanism(voluntary severance packages), should enable theDepartment to renew the human resources componentof the SANDF. The increased capacity of the lawenforcement agencies to deal with crime has meant thatthere is less need for the DOD to help the South AfricanPolice Service (SAPS) with law enforcement. TheSANDF is therefore continuing with its phased withdrawalfrom routine support to the SAPS. The plannedend-date for this is March 2009.In terms of capital investment the Department will makesure that the weapon systems acquired through thestrategic armaments procurement programme are deliveredon time and efficiently integrated into existingstructures. The transfer of sufficient skills and technologyto the SANDF to ensure future readiness supportsthis. The SANDF's core capabilities will be improved bythese new combat systems. The Landward Defence andMilitary Health Support programmes will be the priorityfocus for modernising the force in the medium tolonger term.The Department will continue to support Government’sforeign policy initiatives, and engage with its regionalcounterparts in Africa around the security-related objectivesof the African Union (AU) and the New Partnershipfor Africa's Development (NEPAD). Specific developmentsinclude the mutual defence pact, the AfricanStandby Force and the establishment of continental andregional early warning centres. Support to the UnitedNations Department of Peacekeeping Operations(UNDPKO) will continue, with specific reference to theDRC (MONUC), Burundi (ONUB) and Ethiopia /Eritrea (UNMEE). Support will also continue to theAfrican Union mandated peace missions, namely, Sudan(AMIS), Comores (Election Monitoring) and Eritrea(OLMEE). Specific bi-lateral deployments will continue,namely; Security Sector Reform in the DRC (OP TEU-TONIC) and Cote d'lvoire (OP PRISTINE).The Department currently deploys more than 3 000members in external peace support missions, which ismore than three times the number envisaged in the 1998Defence Review.The DOD is committed to ensuring that the allocatedresources will be used optimally to deliver the outputsdetailed in this plan. Measures are in place to ensureaccountable use of all resources. Minister, we havepleasure in presenting the DOD Strategic Business Planfor the MTEF for the period FY2006/07 to FY2008/09.G.N.

chapter 1STRATEGIC PROFILE ANDDEFENCE OBJECTIVESbuilding a SouthAfrica that trulybelongs to allDEPARTMENT:DEFENCEINTRODUCTIONTguidelineshe basis of the StrategicBusiness Plan of theDepartment of Defence(DOD) is the strategicGiven the complex and contingencydrivennature of the defence function, itis always a daunting task to crediblyand realistically predict the future forwhich the DOD has to prepare. It isagainst this background that the constitutionalobligations of the DOD, particularlythe South African NationalDefence Force (SANDF), followed bythe guidelines captured in sections 16,17, and 18 of the Defence Review (1998)are consistently used to determinewhether or not the DOD is capable ofdelivering on its mandate. Furthermore,the DOD is constantly confrontedemanatingfrom Cabinet Makgotla,Parliament, the prevail-ing strategic environment, and prioritiesidentified by the Minister ofDefence and the Clusters (InternationalRelations, Peace and Security - IRPS,Justice, Crime Prevention and Safety -JCPS, and Governance and Administration- G&A). The operationalisationof those guidelines depends largelyon the budget allocation for the DODover the Medium-term ExpenditureFramework (MTEF) period.with the dual challenge of extremelyhigh costs and extended planning periods(usually thirty years) required forcapital acquisition of modern weaponsystems. It is therefore critically importantthat there is a predictable budgetaryallocation to the Department, whichwill be sufficient for sustainment of theSANDF forces. While the DOD currentlyoperates in a 'peacetime' mode, it hasto be prepared to launch successful andsustainable operations when ordered todo so. Hence, the White Paper onDefence and the Defence Review arebeing reviewed to accommodate the'peacetime' requirement. The DOD isalso undergoing restructuring toenhance efficiency and effectiveness. Inline with the enhancement of efficiencyand effectiveness, full funding of allordered operations is absolutely vital ifthe SANDF's long-term sustainability isnot going to be eroded to fund currentoperations, eg peace support operations.VISIONEffective defence for a democratic SouthAfrica.MISSIONTo provide, manage, prepare andemploy defence capabilities commensuratewith the needs of South Africa, asS T R A T E G I C B U S I N E S S P L A N F Y 2 0 0 6 / 0 7 T O 2 0 0 8 / 0 91
