Hi Marco, As far as for the Bophuthatswana Police Independence Medal, it look the same as mine. My picture is unfortunately not clear. I saw the records regarding a second design for the Ciskeian Police Insignia for Merit 30 Years, but only saw a bad picture of the miniature with the 30 YRS

Marco & Megan, Here is the second design Independence Medal Would have been issued to all members who officially served with SWATF Information and picture, from Matthew Kalkwarf

Strongs to you Megan

Hi Megan, Yes you are 100% correct I have the same award, but with the SARP Cross for Valour (IF) 1966 ribbon

Thanks Megan, That was many moons ago and I just arrived back in SA the day before As for the t- shirt, I ordered all from tge US and had different designs Regards Archie

Marco & Megan, Two further medals were designed for SWATF Samples of both were made and pictures was taken by Matthew Kalkwarf Money playled as main factor and it was decided that as the SWATF was demobilising, there was no need for this sort of "extra expenditure" All information from Matthew Kalkwarf Here we have the following award Pro Nitendo Medal (Latin for the Effort/Shine) Would have been awarded to all those SWATF members who had actively fought in a contact/front line engagement directly with the enemy (with documented proof)
