A further quote from the same statement- "... one of the principal tasks of the commandos and every member is instructed to keep an eye on local events.  Farmers and businessmen are expected to monitor their Black employees and report any out-of-the-way occurrences.  Commandos, and also the Police and regular SADF units at roadblocks, patrol areas in which guerillas are expected to be operating and carry out pacification operations to suppress the resistance in Black townships and settlements.  Many of the men mobilised for commando service are farmers, a section of the population which has been targeted for special attention by the SADF. Gen Viljoen has stated that residents of rural areas should be involved in military activities 365 days a year and that agriculture has to be seen as the part of the State's total strategy.  Farmers are expected to make political as well as a military contribution."
