The claims have however been denied by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).
"There is no such decision to send any military elements by the RSA to assist with the fight against Boko Haram,” Spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said today, March 9, 2016.
The erroneous reports were supposedly informed by a press briefing delivered by Nigerian Defence Minister, Mansur Dan Ali after a meeting with his South African counterpart, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nquakula.
