The Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Ciskei Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).[3][4][5] InstitutionThe President's Medal for Shooting was instituted by the President of Ciskei in 1988.[2][8][6] Award criteriaThe medal was awarded to champion shots.[2] Order of wear{{main|South African military decorations order of wear#Order of wear}}Since the President's Medal for Shooting was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.[7]
The position of the President's Medal for Shooting in the official order of precedence was revised twice after 1994, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first in April 1996 when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged on both occasions.[7] Description
The President's Medal for Shooting is a medallion struck in nickel-silver, 38 millimetres in diameter and 3 millimetres thick with a raised rim, displaying two crossed military rifles within a wreath.[2][8][19][20]
The reverse is plain, with a raised rim and the inscription "INKCANI EYINTSHATSHELI KUMKHOSI WOKHUSELO WE CISKEI" in five lines.[9][10]
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide, with a 3 millimetres wide white band, a 10 millimetres wide green band and a 2 millimetres wide white band, repeated in reverse order and separated by a 2 millimetres wide black band in the centre.[2][8] DiscontinuationConferment of the President's Medal for Shooting was discontinued when the Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.[5] References1. ^Republic of Ciskei Constitution Act, no. 20 of 1981 {{South African military decorations and medals}}2. ^1 2 3 4 South African Medal Website - Ciskei Defence Force (Accessed 30 April 2015) 3. ^{{Citation |last= |first= |authorlink= |date=May 1996 |title=South Africa Homeland Militaries |url=http://www.photius.com/countries/south_africa/national_security/south_africa_national_security_homeland_militaries.html}} (Accessed 1 May 2015) 4. ^{{citation |last=Peled |first=Alon |authorlink= |series=Cornell Studies in Security Affairs |title=A Question of Loyalty: Military Manpower Policy in Multiethnic States |year=1998 |publisher=Cornell University Press |location=Ithaca |isbn=0-8014-3239-1 |pages=50f |url= }} 5. ^1 Warrant of the President of the Republic of South Africa for the Institution of the "UNITAS MEDAL-UNITAS-MEDALJE", Gazette no. 16087 dated 25 November 1994. 6. ^South African Medal Website - Legal aspects - Fount of Honour (Accessed 1 May 2015) 7. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 Republic of South Africa Government Gazette Vol. 477, no. 27376, Pretoria, 11 March 2005, {{OCLC|72827981}} 8. ^1 2 Uniform: SA Army: Former Forces Medals - Ciskei Defence Force (CDF) 9. ^1 Full Size Ciskei Presidents Medal For Shooting NO Ribbon 10. ^1 CISKEI PRESIDENTS MEDAL FOR SHOOTING FULL SIZE {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20140623223533/http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/148529668/CISKEI_PRESIDENTS_MEDAL_FOR_SHOOTING_FULL_SIZE.html |date=23 June 2014 }} 2 : Military decorations and medals of Ciskei|Military decorations and medals of South Africa in order of precedence |
