SADF

Sadf is a term with no single, widely recognized definition. In practice, it most often appears as a typographical variant of the acronym SADF, which stands for the South African Defence Force. The SADF was the national military of South Africa during the apartheid era, existing from 1957 until 1994, when it was reorganized into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) as part of major constitutional reforms.

Because Sadf is not an established standalone term, its meaning depends on context and is usually treated as a nonstandard spelling of SADF in formal writing. If encountered in sources, it is typically a misspelling or a substring in technical material rather than a distinct organization. Readers seeking information should consider whether SADF (South African Defence Force) is the intended reference.
