Operations With the SADF Kruger National Park Commando (KNPC) was based in the
Kruger National Park and had 4 small base camps situated at: • Crocodile Bridge, • Sandriver near Skukuza, • Shishangane near Nwanetsi and • Masakosapan near Shingwedzi. Each base was more or less of platoon strength with Sandriver as the headquarters. The main role of the KNPC was daily foot patrols from south to north interdicting refugees and smugglers from Mozambique.
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. 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.
Operation Corona The role the KNPC fulfilled was eventually reactivated in the SANDF by Operation Corona. ==Unit insignia==
