South African Mercenaries

South africa is trying to keep the fact that there are thousands of mercenaries that are South African trained. Most of these men were trained before apartheid ended. The training they received was of the best training in the world. When apartheid ended they were relieved of their duties. Most of them had no other skills and went into the private sector of war. To this day the South African Mercenaries are some of the best in the world. they offer their services to the highest bidder. They are some of the biggest problems in wars today. The americans in Iraq have experienced some problems with them. They are best private soldiers in the world.
