The remains of the SADF base at Fort Doppies not visible anymore.

Fort Doppies was established in 1970 and derived its name from a vervet monkey who lived in the area and had a habit of rushing into the base area to steal spent cartridge cases (known as doppies) in Afrikaans, and then rushing away with his booty.

Fort Doppies was the base where most of Special Forces training were conducted during the time of the Angolan War.
