Hilarious video clips of a soldier unable to keep up during a South African National Defence Force (SANDF) training session made the rounds on social media on Thursday.

The first videos show soldiers or trainees practising climbing a wall, but one is not as agile as the rest. The recruit, Mabena, is slow or stops before completing the climb.

"Mabena, please disappoint me again, I knew it, Mabena," says the person recording the video.
