The South African National Defence Force was established on 27 April 1994 at the start of democratic government. It amalgamated the South African Defence Force, the defence forces of the TBVC homelands (Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei), Umkhonto we Sizwe, and the Azanian People's Liberation Army. It remains South Africa's current defence force.
