Special Newsletter of the Special Task Force of the South African Railways Police

The five information panels on the South African Railway Police were designed as a permanent educational exhibition for the Pro Patria Museum, Fort Schanskop. Each panel presents a concise historical overview of a specific aspect of the former SA Railway Police — including the Training College at Esselen Park, the successive Heads of the Service, Border Duty operations, the Special Task Force, and the Non‑White Training Programme. The content is visually supported by photographs, documents, and archival material that illuminate the development, functions, and unique culture of the Service. The proposal to make these panels digitally accessible aims to broaden public reach, enabling individuals who cannot visit the Museum in person to engage with the material and learn about the heritage of the SA Railway Police through your communication platform, The Nongqai. This digital extension will further promote the preservation, study, and appreciation of the Railway Police’s history.

Die Loodsing van die SA Spoorwegpolisie Erfenisdag op 6 Desember 2025, gehou by Fort Schanskop in die Pro- Patria Museum by die Voortrekker Monument, het ’n historiese mylpaal vir die voormalige SA Spoorwegpolisie verteenwoordig. Vir die eerste keer is die volledige SA Spoorwegpolisie se nalatenskap, diens en opofferings amptelik opgeneem in die ruimte waar die gewapende dienste van Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis bewaar en vereer word. Hierdie prestasie was die resultaat van toegewyde onderhandelinge deur Fanie Booysen, saam met die SA Weermag Veterane liggaam, Generaal-Majoor Lawrence Smit, Louis Buys en Johann van Graan, wat uiteindelik gelei het tot die toekenning van ’n permanente uitstalspasie vir die SA Spoorwegpolisie.
