Originally from Umzimkhulu in KwaZulu-Natal, Sergeant Kabini has 12 years' service having joined the organisation in 2009 when she was only 22-years-old.
These operations range from routine patrols to Search and Rescue operations, to support operations for high risk units which include the Special Task Force , National Intervention Unit , Tactical Response Teams , Public Order Police and the Counter Assault Team . They also provide operational support during public unrests and crowd control operations, vehicle, stock, as well as game gheft operations.
Apart from providing air support to specialised teams on the ground, these members are trained in assisting pilots with observations and also the reading of aerial maps. The ALEO is an extra set of eyes and ears for the pilot. During “confined space landings”, hoisting and long-line slinging operations, it is the duty and responsibility of the ALEO to “patter” the pilot to ensure a safe and successful operation.
According to Sergeant Kabini, to survive in this environment one ought to possess a number of personality and characteristic traits. Of importance is for ones situational awareness to be up to standard, be brave and calm, be a decisive individual so as to be able to exercise authority, especially when communicating with operational members on the ground. She says you have to know what to say, know what to do, how to do it and when.
