Interesting combat group.

From the looks of it the picture you have posted it looks like hes carrying a IMI Galil. (not 100% positive but it could be a variant of one.)
Reference: http://www.gunlistings.org/uploads/6094_20090807212232_1.jpg

The vehicles are MPAV Infantry Carriers known as a "Buffel" but that's stated in the picture.

Some of the other weapons are hard to make out but few of the pictures what looks to be carrying rpg-7's. (picture 85 confirms they are RPG-7's) The 32 battalion also had AK-47's at their disposal (picture 24 & 69 has one)

Ahh I love the internet found this little gem while seeing what weapons the South African Army used.

I was wrong it is not a Galil, its a Vektor R4/R5 assault rifle. Few of the pictures they are also sporting R1 (FN-FAL) Assault Rifles They do have AK47's but its not on this list.

Obviously there is newer ordinance on this list so keep that in mind as well. Only going off the gear in pictures first.
