Buffel Armored Personnel Carrier (APC)
The Buffel (Afrikaans for Buffalo) was South Africa's first purpose built mine resistant armoured personnel carrier (APC). This vehicle was used in large numbers by the former South African Defence force, and inherited by its successor, the South African National Defence force (SANDF). By the late 1990s it was being phased out of service, and is being replaced by the Mamba APC series. The Buffel was also exported to Uganda and to Sri Lanka.
