It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve. HistoryOrigin{{Empty Section|date=March 2015}}OperationsUnder the UDFBy 1902 all Commando remnants were under British military control and disarmed. By 1912, however previous Commando members could join shooting associations. By 1940, such commandos were under control of the National Reserve of Volunteers. These commandos were formally reactivated by 1948. Under the SADFDuring this era the Commando was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police. Under the SANDFAmalgamationBy 1997 Rouxville Commando was amalgamated with Zastron Commando. DisbandmentThis unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units.[1][2] The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 “because of the role it played in the apartheid era”, according to the Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula.[3] Unit Insignia{{Empty Section|date=March 2015}}Leadership{{Post-start|caption=Leadership|float=}}{{Post-header|post-name=Honorary Colonels}}{{Post-header|post-name=Commanding Officers}}{{Post-header|post-name=Regimental Sergeants Major}}{{Post-end}}References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.issafrica.org/Pubs/ASR/6No2/VanStade.html |title=Rationalisation in the SANDF: The Next Challenge |accessdate=5 March 2015 |year=1997 |author= Col L B van Stade, Senior Staff Officer Rationalisation, SANDF |publisher=Institute for Security Studies }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/rural_safety/eng/pages/no2e.htm |title=About the Commando system |accessdate=2008-01-17 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206150052/http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/rural_safety/eng/pages/no2e.htm |archivedate=December 6, 2007 }} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=de Lange|first1=Deon|title=South Africa: Commandos Were 'Hostile to New SA'|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/200805290408.html|work=Cape Argus|accessdate=5 March 2015|subscription=yes}} See also
