It is South African, but I have been unable to find much beyond the fact that it was a local regiment. Mervyn
paul wood Posted May 22, 2014 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
milhistry Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Regiment Oos Rand. HQ'd in Benoni. The white metal rose is however missing off the badge.
