I am certainly not real knowledgable about South Africa and the things that go on behind the scene. From what I can gather with the changes in Government, that the new Government wants not much to do with these folks be they white or black. I think this is a loss for South Africa.
They are , for the most part South Africans and would still be in the South African military doing service for their country were it not for the politics.
Hopefully the SA Government will recognize this and bring these folks home. I think they could also use them to strengthen the SANDF if feelings could finally be put aside a bit.
Just my two cents.
