• The men in the military gained attention as they demonstrated how organised they are as a unit
• People could not help but make jokes as they watched the soldiers who were carefully directed by an officer to put on a display of power and focus

A video on TikTok shared on 18 February 2026 showed an official march by the SANDF. In the past, enforcers of the law went viral because of questionable marches that did very little to show the public their prowess.

A recent TikTok video showed a unit of the military that showed off its focus and precision. The video of the soldiers' amassed attention from South Africans.

In a video on TikTok by @don_selassi a military leader was giving instructions to soldiers who were lined up perfectly for a drill. He signalled for them to change their position, and they all moved seamlessly in perfect unison. The leader was thoroughly impressed that he seemingly threw his baton down in frustration, saying "Yeses, f*k", but it was actually an expression of compliment to their precision.
