A report on the outcome of an inquiry into the deaths of six soldiers in a fire at the Lohatlha Combat Training base in the Northern Cape has been referred to the Defence Department’s legal team for scrutiny.
The fire ravaged the training base in October last year causing extensive damage.
The department’s spokesperson Amos Phago says, “A board of inquiry was indeed established. In fact, it completed its investigations on the 23rd of December 2023. The report has been taken to the legal division for legal scrutiny, after which it will be handed over to the convening authority, who is the Chief of the South African National Defence Force before it is handed to the minister.”
