DOMESTIC DEFENCE

DOMESTIC DEFENCE: Paramount Group chairperson Mathews Phosa believes South Africa’s defence industry is poised to benefit from the pressing need to modernise the country’s military equipment. However, he says this benefit will flow only if orders are placed with local companies. Phosa was speaking during a showcase of the company’s portfolio at the Gerotek Test Facility, in Gauteng. Including the Paramount Mbombe 6, seen here embarking on a 31osteep descent to showcase its rough-terrain capabilities. Photograph:Creamer Media Chief Photographer Donna Slater
