History



Origin


The Lions Head Commando was established at Fort Wynyard at Green Point on 24 July 1978.



Operations



With the SADF


During this era, the unit was mainly involved in area force protection, cordones and search operations assisting the local police and stock theft control.


The unit was organised under Group 1 Headquarters at Youngsfield part of Western Province Command.



With the SANDF



Disbandment

This 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]
