Former SWATF and Koevoet soldiers will launch fresh investigations into their demand for pension pay-outs with Sanlam South Africa.

This comes after years of protests that pensions were deducted by Sanlam Namibia from the former soldiers' salaries before independence.

The former soldiers and Sanlam Namibia held a joint media conference in which they informed the local insurance giant of their intention to shift their demands to Sanlam South Africa.
