Last week saw yet a another change of command for a South African Navy ship – the strike craft SAS ISAAC DYOBHA.

SAS Isaac Dyobha is one of two strike craft remaining in the navy from an original flotilla of eight. The ship’s latest officer commanding is Lt-Cdr Jabulani Mbotho, who took command of the ship from Cdr Geraard Wessels at a change of command ceremony held in Simon’s Town last Thursday.

Lt-Cdr Mbotho comes from a rural area in southern KZN and completed maritime studies at the Natal Technikon before joining the navy in 1997. Since then he has completed all necessary courses for his most recent promotion.
