| The invasion of King's Beach, Port Elizabeth |

Why have military invasions on (traditionally) white beaches, through (traditionally) white residential suburbs and business areas in Port Elizabeth complete with massive traffic jams and battles over parking spaces?
People who watched it were not impressed saying, ““If this is as good as it gets, we can only be grateful that Lesotho and Swaziland don’t have navies.”
“SNEAKY ambushes, skirmishes and even battles over parking spaces dwarfed the spectacle of the National Defence Force’s underwhelming display of military might at Kings Beach in Port Elizabeth last night.”
“Billed as a “spectacular all-arms night of shooting capability demonstration”, the Armed Forces Day event failed to impress many of the thousands of people who battled massive traffic logjams and a lack of parking to attend.”
“The armed forces demonstrations will culminate in the main event on Sunday, when Marine Drive will be temporarily closed while President Jacob Zuma and cabinet ministers watch demonstrations.”
