Makana Mayor Nomhle Gaga inspects troops from 6 South African Infantry Battalion (6 SAI) and First City Regiment during their Freedom of the City parade in front of the City Hall on Thursday 25 May. She is accompanied by (from left) General Rudzani Maphwanya, General Officer Commanding of the SA Infantry Formation, Makana Acting Municipal Manager Ted Pillay and Lieutenant- Colonel MA Saki, 6 SAI Commanding Officer, and led by 6 SAI Captains Klaasen and Campher. The tradition symbolises the confidence of the civilian population in the unit and confers on it the right and privilege of bearing arms while marching through the city or town. This year it also marks the return of 6 SAI troops from a tour of duty on the Lesotho border. Photo: Steven Lang
