"President Jacob Zuma has informed Parliament that he has extended the employment of members of the SANDF for service in fulfilment of international obligations of the Republic of South Africa towards SADC," said the Presidency in a statement on Tuesday.

They were employed from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014. Their employment has now been extended to 31 March 2015.

"A total of 220 SANDF members were employed in Mozambican and Tanzanian waters, as well as international waters, and are still monitoring and deterring piracy along the southern African Coast of the Indian Ocean," said the Presidency.
