| Department of Defence | | Programme 4: Maritime Defence | representatives, attended the event. Twelve SA naval vessels participated in the Presidential Fleet Review, which was followed by a parade addressed by the President. The event attracted signicant positive media attention and served as an ideal platform to demonstrate the state of readiness of the SA Navy, as well as an “Employer of Choice” to the nation. The Chief of the SA Navy and his senior management team also hosted the new Minister of Defence (MOD), Mr Charles Nqakula, on board SAS ISANDLWANA in Durban on 10 October 2008, where he addressed the South African National Editor’s Forum during his rst media-brieng since his appointment. The SA Navy made good progress in the realisation of its Force Design. The last of the three Type 209 submarines, SAS QUEEN MODJADJI 1, was delivered in May 2008. This signied the completion of the acquisition of the Strategic Defence Packages for the SA Navy. In addition, the Lynx helicopter has also been fully integrated with the frigates. Other capital projects in the realisation of the Force Design have reached signicant milestones in the documentation process, the most signicant being the re-establishment of a mine-warfare capability, the replacement of patrol vessels and the hydrographic ship. The Military Skills Development System (MSDS) programme in the SA Navy has facilitated the rejuvenation of the SA Navy over the years. This has, however, not fully satised the requirement for increasing demand in the Reserves. This is because the SA Navy has had to offer more of the MSDS recruits Core-Service System contracts than was anticipated, to cater for the large number of personnel who have left the service. The intervention has, however, ensured that the SA Navy has made good progress in meeting the demographic targets, although representation in the middle-management sector of the SA Navy still requires further attention. The SA Navy continued to utilise Reserves extensively to address certain areas of critical capacity. A total of 60 359 man-days were utilised to satisfy force preparation and force support requirements. On average, the SA Navy has had 230 Reserves on active duty, serving at sea and ashore in support of its mandate. The SA Navy has expended 100% of its budget for FY 2008/09. This is mainly due to adherence to the Plan, thus ensuring compliance with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and measures instituted by the Chief of the SA Navy, to ensure expenditure of the budget. The SA Navy continues to face many challenges, especially the critical shortage of technical personnel, submariners and divers, as well as retaining those remaining with these specialist skills within the organisation. This, coupled with the exorbitant cost of maintenance, repair and support of primemission equipment with an insufcient budget allocation, will place further strain on the SA Navy, and it is unlikely that the latter will be able to meet all its objectives in the future. The fact that the SA Navy continued to achieve its objectives, regardless of the many challenges it has encountered, is reective of the quality and commitment of the men and women who serve in the organisation. The SA Navy remains committed to pursuing its primary objective in providing a credible maritime defence to the people of the RSA. Purpose of the Programme The Maritime Defence Programme provides prepared and supported maritime defence capabilities for the defence and protection of the RSA. Subprogrammes • Maritime Direction provides strategic direction within the programme by formulating and controlling strategies, policies, plans and advice to prepare and provide the maritime capabilities required by the Chief of the SANDF. • Maritime Combat Capability provides prepared and supported maritime combat capabilities in accordance with the approved force design. • Maritime Logistic Support Capability provides a maritime logistic support capability to the approved force design and complies with ordered operational commitments. • Maritime Training Capability ensures that the maritime combat capability requirements are met by providing trained full-time and reserve personnel. • Base Support Capability provides a general base-support capability for the eet, ships, shore units and other identied clients.
