The SANDF Chief, General Rudzani Maphwanya, has denied claims of the existence of an alleged death squad within the military.
General Maphwanya made the remarks at a media briefing in response to the allegations.
Last week, non-profit organisation, Open Secrets, released an explosive report that implicates at least four units of the SANDF in crimes, some of which date back four years. The alleged crimes include torture and possible assassinations.
Addressing the media, General Maphwanya urged those who have evidence, along with their sources, to report such crimes to authorities.
However, he has acknowledged that the allegations of torture were brought to the attention of the SANDF’s top brass months ago.
