-Circa 1984 a unit of Ndebele soldiers was formed (115 Battalion) in the Central Transvaal with the intent of forming the basis of a defence force for the KwaNdebele Homeland. During the process a camouflage uniform was adopted for wear by members of the unit, but its use was never fully implemented as there was not enough local support for the creation of a fully-independent KwaNdebele. 115 Battalion, therefore, remained a part of the SADF under the Central Transvaal Command (later the Gauteng Command) until it was disbanded in 1997.
