It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve. HistoryOrigin{{Empty Section|date=March 2015}}OperationsWith the SADFDuring this era, the unit was mainly engaged in area force protection, search and cordones as well as other assistance to the local police. The unit resorted under the command of Group 41. With the SANDFDisbandmentThis 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] By 2013, the derelict Rietfontein Commando base had fallen into a state of decay, raising many concerns by local residents and business owners. Also known as the Edenvale Commando/Barracks, the building, together with the current Sebenza Police Station, used to house a wing of the South African Defence Force. A report requested the municipality for permission to demolish the building and sell the land by public tender.[4] 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}}InsigniaDress InsigniaReferences1. ^{{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 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316204323/https://issafrica.org/pubs/asr/6no2/vanstade.html |archivedate=16 March 2016 |df= }} 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=2007-12-06 |df= }} 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}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://bedfordviewedenvalenews.co.za/223659/commando-barracks-to-be-sold/|title=Commando barracks to be sold - Bedfordview Edenvale News|author=|date=10 December 2013|website=bedfordviewedenvalenews.co.za}} See also
