Berede


Wow, now this brings back memories from my army days many moons ago as I was in the Berede, which is Afrikaans for a mounted unit to which I belonged. Yip, we were the ones that still rode horses into war; thankfully it was a low scale bush war and I only did 2 years conscription.

Since the senseless murders a few days back, the South African Police services have brought out everything to show the neighbourhood solidarity even if it means doing mounted patrols in the suburbs. Anyways they are a most welcome sight in our neighbourhood.
