Hi Chris. The ranks were used through the Angolan Bushwar period, up to close to 1995. The wings are still in use for many years already, although they don't use the nutria material wing on the current camoflage uniforms. They used them for a while until the mint colour insignia came out, to be worn with the Soldier 2000 uniforms.. See my attached uniforms with some different insignia Regards Archie

Hi Marco, I found a former worker from the AEC and according to him was there only 1 medal and I received the information as per attached picture. Best Regards Archie

Hi Marco, I will try my best to get information on the AEC Medal Regards Archie

The bronze award was for NCO's and civilian members and the gold award for officers

Hi Marco, All the awards on your picture, were designed for all Municipal/Metropolitan Police Services in South Africa and not only for the City of Ekurhuleni. The cross on the top right is the Canine & Equine Cross for Bravery, awarded to all animals, dogs and horses for bravery in the line of duty. Regards Archie

Hi Marco, I will ask Mike Evert who designed them We are friends for more than 40 years Regards Archie

Hi Marco, I saw 2 variations of most Bophuthatswana DF medals Some qith the COA's on the rear and some blank Regards Archie

Hi Marco, Its definitely not a 30 years medal, but the very scarce silver Transkei Independence Medal, minted and issued to some offivers. The same ribbon as the bronze. Good buy, well done Regards Archie
