##### Amalgamation and Disbandment

[edit]

South Coast Commando was amalgamated with Durban South Commando in 1994.

This new unit, along with all other Commando units was however disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units.[1][2] The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to the Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula.[3]
