M.Ed. / A review of the literature reveals that there is sufficient proof that Russia and its satellite states are involved in various regional conflicts throughout the world. The literature provides proof of Russia's involvement and support of several terrorist groups in various parts of the world. The Republic of South Africa is such a territory where communism endeavors to establish a communistic orientated govermseat , The total onslaught against the Republic of South Africa resulted from nUlllerous factors such as strategic-geographical factors and mineral wealth. A godless revolution of Communism is directed against the Christian ethics and convictions of the inhabitants of the Republic of South Africa. This revolution is ailed towards the total demolition of all ethical norms, Christian values of life, religion, culture and the life style of this nation. The youth of South Africa does not escape this pernicious onslaught and must therefore be prepared orally and physically to oppose this attack against the Republic of South Africa. One of the objectives of cadet training i8 to inform and prepare the youth in regard to the nature and extent of the onslaught against the Republic of South Africa. By means of the imposed task regarding cadet training the deputy superintendent (Cadets) can contribute a great deal towards IIl()tivating and preparing the youth of the Republic of South Africa. Present tidies necessitate the physical and oral preparation of the youth as an integral part of the aims of education. Youth preparedness can be realized in an effective and practical manner by means of cadet training in schools. The focus of cadet training is rightfully aimed at youth preparedness. A further aim of cadet training is providing the cadet with an opportunity to accept joint responsibility for the safety of his own community. The components of the cadet training program are devised in such a way that ample opportunities are created to facilitate and promote physical and moral preparedness. It seems evident that in the event of the correct implementation of the cadet training program of the Transvaal Education Department it should be beneficial to youth preparedness. To achieve this goal it is necessary that both teaching staff and pupils be motivated and activated to become positively involved in the cadet training program. As a professional educationist the deputy superintendent (Cadets) shares the responsibility to motivate the teaching staff and the pupils towards positive participation in the cadet training program. Through positive participation it is possible to prepare the pupils physically and morally against the pernicious commutation against the Republic of South Africa. A valuable contribution in motivating and preparing the youth is thus made possible by the deputy superintendent (Cadets). By applying appropriate guiding lines with regard to cadet training to all parties involved, the deputy superintendent (Cadets) can make a valuable contribution towards motivating the cadet to become an able-bodied and defensible citizen of the Republic of South Africa.
