  **Amalgamation and Disbandment**
  
  South Coast Commando was amalgamated with Durban South Commando in 1994.
  
  This new unit, along with all other Commando units was however disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units. The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to the Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula.
