The South African Reconnaissance Commando was quite newly formed in 1977, their main objective in the case of Seiljag would have been information gathering, I do not think they were involved in Seiljag as at this stage the unit was quite small and mainly on missions in Zimbabwe ( then Rhodesia), the official unit only came into existence in 1970 with Commandant Breytenbach hand picking 11 men to join him, previously the operations were carried out under the Hunter Group and only formally recognized as a unit in 1972.
