The South African Navy has launched its inaugural Joint Project Officers' Course at Naval Base Simon's Town. This course, a significant milestone in the navy's organizational development, is led by Colonel Leonard Badenhorst and supported by Colonel Frank Kemp and Lieutenant Colonel Sharon Maponya.

Its purpose is to provide naval officers with essential project management skills for overseeing major naval projects. The course includes practical training at the SAN submarine training school and visits to manufacturers, including Reutech Radar Systems in Stellenbosch, to gain insights into South African naval radar and sensor technologies.
