Department of Defence and Military Veterans
It has come to the attention of the Department of Defence that an increase in the appearance of bogus government orders is causing suppliers to experience serious financial losses. Companies receive fraudulent copies of government orders from people who pretend to be members of the Department of Defence or the South African National Defence Force. These government orders are used to obtain delivery of goods at a credible destination, sometimes close to or around a military base. The thieves then disappear with the goods, after which the companies approach the South African National Defence Force for payment, only to find out they were defrauded. Suppliers are cautioned to be vigilant and take precautions to ensure the government order being presented is valid, before they deliver goods. It is also not practice in the South African National Defence Force to accept delivery of goods on pavements, in parking areas or at any other place where there is no uniformed military presence.
Information: Suppliers can call the following number nearest to them to confirm validity (description of goods, quantity and delivery point) of any government order:

Pretoria - Warrant Officer Class 1 Potgieter, (012) 684-2104

Cape Town -Lieutenant Colonel Michaels, (021) 787-5190
Note: The Department of Defence or the South African National Defence Force will not be responsible for compensation of any losses incurred due to these fraudulent activities.
