As a reserve unit, it has a status roughly equivalent to that of a British Army Reserve or United States Army National Guard unit. The Regiment was named after General Christian Frederick Beyers, a Boer general during the Second Boer War. HistoryOriginThe regiment formed in 1939 as a second battalion of Regiment Botha.[1] Regiment Botha was formed a few years earlier in 1934. World War 2Known as Second Botha Regiment or the Second Bothas, it underwent a number of name changes during World War II.[1] In 1942 it was called Regiment Botha and in 1943 it was joined to Regiment President Steyn.[1] During the Second World War, the regiment was part of the 5th South African Brigade and took part in the East African campaign and then later in the western deserts of Egypt and Libya.[1] Numerous names after World War Two and into the Border WarBy 1946 it was called 59 Reserve Motor Service Company. In 1947 its name became 2 Regiment Botha.[1] By 1951 it became Regiment Christiaan Beyers.[1] By 1964 It was renamed Regiment Limpopo. Finally in the Late 1960s it reverted to Regiment Christiaan Beyers again. During the South African Border War, 1966-1989, this citizen force regiment was regularly deployed for duties in the Republic as well as South West Africa.[1] Post 1994The unit has taken part in peacekeeping duties in Southern Sudan and posted to duties on the Swaziland border.[1] On the 29 November 2013, the regiment received the freedom of the city Polokwane. Regiment paraded through the city before having the scroll presented by the Mayor Freddy Greaver to the officer in command Lt Colonel Takalani Mphohoni. [2][3]SANDF's Motorised InfantrySANDF’s Motorised Infantry is transported mostly by Samil trucks, Mamba APC’s or other un-protected motor vehicles. Samil 20,50 and 100 trucks transport soldiers, towing guns, and carrying equipment and supplies. Samil trucks are all-wheel drive, in order to have vehicles that function reliably in extremes of weather and terrain. Motorised infantry have an advantage in mobility allowing them to move to critical sectors of the battlefield faster, allowing better response to enemy movements, as well as the ability to outmaneuver the enemy.
