Duiker
Notes: This version of the Casspir APC is an armored fuel tanker. Instead of a passenger space, it has a 5000-liter armored fuel tank in the rear. The roof of the cab has a weapon mount. The Duiker is protected from mines in the same manner as the Casspir. This vehicle is used by South Africa, Namibia, and Peru.

RG-32 Scout Weapons Carrier
Notes: This is a version of the military 4x4 diesel-powered RG-32 Scout armored personnel carrier. In this version, the back half of the vehicle is cut away to form a flatbed; on this flatbed is mounted one of a variety of heavy weapons. The roof hatch is moved to the rear seat and also mounts one or two of a variety of weapons. The vehicle has additional armor protection; including antimine features that allow it to withstand mine blasts with the equivalent of twice the normal armor value, and the suspension is one greater against mine blasts. Note that the heavy weapons platform is not under armor, though it is protected against mine blasts.

Rinkhals
Notes: This is a South African armored ambulance based on the SAMIL 50 truck. The Rinkhals is mine protected; the vehicle is considered to have double its armor rating from mine attacks, and the suspension rating is one higher when considering mine attacks. The vehicle is otherwise an armored truck, though it is appointed with lockers for medical supplies, stretchers, oxygen gear, and medical monitors. The vehicle's higher and beefier suspension allows it better cross-country performance than its SAMIL 50 base. Crew access is through a rear door or two doors on the cab. Three firing ports are on each side of the passenger compartment, and there is a roof hatch with a weapon mount.

Rooikat
Notes: The Rooikat armored car was produced in South Africa in the late 1980s. Designed for deep reconnaissance and raiding operations of the African Veldt, much emphasis was placed on mobility and endurance, even down to the 76mm Cockerill main gun instead of the more usual 105mm (48 reloads instead of 25-35 at most). It is highly mine-resistant and can lose two wheels, even on the same side (it has eight total), and maintain top speed.
The Rooikat 105 was designed for export, and the only sales were to Abu Dhabi and Malaysia. The vehicle is basically the same as the normal Rooikat, with the exception of the mounting of a 105mm NATO gun instead of the normal 76mm, and a few other minor improvements.
The Rooikat 35 is a standard Rooikat 76 chassis with the turret replaced with one mounting a 35mm autocannon. It was designed for scouting and escort duties as well as infantry fire support. A pod with 4 ZT-3 Swift ATGM launchers is mounted on the turret roof on the left side. The missiles can be aimed and fired from within the vehicle, but the crew must expose the upper body to reload missiles. This was designed primarily as a proof-of-concept vehicle and not meant for actual production.
Twilight 2000 Notes: Remaining examples of the Rooikat 105 were requisitioned from the factories and depots when the Twilight War picked up and used by South African forces to replace combat losses. The Rooikat 35 was also placed into production, in order to serve as a scout and infantry support vehicle, as well as a tank destroyer.
