The Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Bophuthatswana Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).[3][4][5] InstitutionThe State President's Medal for Shooting was instituted by the State President of Bophuthatswana in 1990.[1][2][8][6] Award criteriaThe medal could be awarded to champion shots.[1][8] Order of wear{{main|South African military decorations order of wear#Order of wear}}Since the State 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.[8]
With effect from 6 April 1952, when a new South African set of decorations and medals was instituted to replace the British awards which were used to date, the older awards continued to be worn in the same order of precedence but, with the exception of the Victoria Cross, took precedence after all South African orders, decorations and medals awarded to South Africans on or after that date.[7][16][8]
The position of the State President's Medal for Shooting in the order of precedence remained unchanged, as it was on 27 April 1994, when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted in April 1996 for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again when a new series of military orders, decorations and medals was instituted in South Africa on 27 April 2003.[7] DiscontinuationConferment of the State President's Medal for Shooting was discontinued when the Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.[5] References1. ^1 2 South African Medal Website - Bophuthatswana Defence Force (Accessed 30 April 2015) {{South African military decorations and medals}}2. ^1 Republic of Bophuthatswana Constitution Act, 1977 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 7 8 9 10 Republic of South Africa Government Gazette Vol. 477, no. 27376, Pretoria, 11 March 2005, {{OCLC|72827981}} 8. ^1 2 Government Notice no. 1982 of 1 October 1954 – Order of Precedence of Orders, Decorations and Medals, published in the Government Gazette of 1 October 1954. 9. ^1 2 {{London Gazette|issue=56878|supp=y|page=3353|date=17 March 2003}} 2 : Military decorations and medals of Bophuthatswana|Military decorations and medals of South Africa in order of precedence |
