A review of the literature reveals that there is sufficient proof that
Russia and its satellite states are involved in various regional
conflicts throughout the world. The literature provides proof of
Russia's involvement and support of several terrorist groups in various
parts of the world. The Republic of South Africa is such a territory
where communism endeavors to establish a communistic orientated
govermseat , The total onslaught against the Republic of South Africa
resulted from nUlllerous factors such as strategic-geographical factors
and mineral wealth.
A godless revolution of Communism is directed against the Christian
ethics and convictions of the inhabitants of the Republic of South
Africa. This revolution is ailed towards the total demolition of all
ethical norms, Christian values of life, religion, culture and the life
style of this nation.
The youth of South Africa does not escape this pernicious onslaught and
must therefore be prepared orally and physically to oppose this attack
against the Republic of South Africa.
One of the objectives of cadet training i8 to inform and prepare the
youth in regard to the nature and extent of the onslaught against the
Republic of South Africa. By means of the imposed task regarding cadet
training the deputy superintendent (Cadets) can contribute a great deal
towards IIl()tivating and preparing the youth of the Republic of South
Africa. Present tidies necessitate the physical and oral preparation
of the youth as an integral part of the aims of education.
Youth preparedness can be realized in an effective and practical manner
by means of cadet training in schools. The focus of cadet training is
rightfully aimed at youth preparedness.
A further aim of cadet training is providing the cadet with an
opportunity to accept joint responsibility for the safety of his own
community. The components of the cadet training program are devised in
such a way that ample opportunities are created to facilitate and
promote physical and moral preparedness. It seems evident that in the
event of the correct implementation of the cadet training program of the
Transvaal Education Department it should be beneficial to youth
preparedness. To achieve this goal it is necessary that both teaching
staff and pupils be motivated and activated to become positively
involved in the cadet training program.
As a professional educationist the deputy superintendent (Cadets) shares
the responsibility to motivate the teaching staff and the pupils towards
positive participation in the cadet training program. Through positive
participation it is possible to prepare the pupils physically and
morally against the pernicious commutation against the Republic of South
Africa.
A valuable contribution in motivating and preparing the youth is thus
made possible by the deputy superintendent (Cadets). By applying
appropriate guiding lines with regard to cadet training to all parties
involved, the deputy superintendent (Cadets) can make a valuable
contribution towards motivating the cadet to become an able-bodied and
defensible citizen of the Republic of South Africa.
