A fearsome sight, this armoured car at a spot overlooking Valley of 1000 hills:
But wait; what’s that in the background, and who are those figures visible through the hatch?
This puts a rather different slant on it!

The kids look like they are having such fun. What a contrast to the havoc those tanks wreaked when they were in use.

Is it a Ratel?
My American dude owes his life to thise things – apparently it’s the best troop carrier in the world. The safest in the case of an IED road explosion. We South Africans we great once upon a time…

Similar, but I don’t think it is an actual Ratel which, if I remember rightly, has the pairs of wheels at the back closer to one another, and more of a V-shape on the body to deflect land mine explosions.
