Limpopo Commando initially resorted under Far North Command, but with the development of theSoutpansberg Military Area was transferred to that Command.

Limpopo Commando was responsible for the stretch from Pontdrift east up to the nature reserve west of Messina.

This unit was also involved in area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the local police.

This unit, along with all otherCommando units was disbanded after a decision by South African PresidentThabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units.^[1][2] The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to theMinister of Safety and SecurityCharles Nqakula.^[3]
