Parliament's Joint Standing Committee on Defence has revealed that the South African Army's R9-billion Hoefyster ('Horseshoe') project, to acquire 264 Badger infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) from Denel Land Systems (DLS), is now running three years and nine months late. The Badger is intended to replace the increasingly obsolete Ratel ('Honey Badger') IFV and deliveries of the new vehicle were meant to start last year and be concluded in 2023. The committee reported that DLS was unable to meet its contractual obligations to Armscor (the Department of Defence's acquisition agency). In a virtual briefing to the committee on May 28, the State-owned Denel group reported that DLS could not deliver Project Hoefyster at the agreed price and with the contracted technical specifications. The committee has called on the Defence and Military Veterans Minister to intervene in the matter.  view more
