It is South African, but I have been unable to find much beyond the fact that it was a local regiment. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It's the badge of the Afrikaner Broederbond (AB), founded in 1921, Wees Sterk means be strong. All the major members of the pre-Mandela governments were Broederbond members and it was like a who's who of Afrikaans nationalists. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milhistry Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Regiment Oos Rand. HQ'd in Benoni. The white metal rose is however missing off the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
