1. INFRASTRUCTURE 1.1 Facilities at the base are in a state of neglect and DPW had cancelled repair and maintenance work at base amid an unconfirmed decision that the AFB Durban would be relocated. As a result, urgent repair and maintenance are done by soldiers, and this practice, given the poor state of neglect, is not sustainable over an extended period of time. The degrading conditions of buildings impact on the morale and professionalism of soldiers who are performing core functions under poor and stressful conditions.
