Excellent reporting by Carte Blanche & Open Secrets.

It sounds like General Maphwanya is now saying the reason for some individuals within the SANDF doing wrong is because society has failed to properly nurture 'your sons and daughters'? And with that, the briefing ends. #CarteBlanche Open Secrets

Happening Now: The SANDF responds to reporting on an alleged torture squad within the military. It calls for evidence to be reported to authorities, yet does not mention the board of inquiry which heard testimony about torture. #CarteBlanche
SANDF chief of staff confirms the Board of Inquiry heard testimony of allegations of torture - so they knew about it for at least six months - but says it's internal.
SANDF chief about to weigh in.
#CarteBlanche
Now: SANDF acknowledging the allegations of torture were brought to the attention of the top brass months ago and not recently through Open Secrets...
This contradicts the early statement. Sandf says torture didn't form basis of BOI but confirms it was heard as testimony.
#CarteBlanche asks SANDF chief about the operations of the special forces within the country.
SANDF chief says 'these questions are not healthy for the wellbeing of our citizens.'
