SADF also used the AML-60 & AML-90, both of which are made by Takom.

The AML 60 and 90 are not suitable for SANDF. The SA Eland derivative was different, including being larger.

Rooikat isn't an APC, but is time-appropriate.

If anyone ever kits the Patria AMV there may be a chance for a Hoefyster APC.

You might be able to backdate an RG31 to the original Mamba.
