Such too was the case with Executive Outcomes in Angola and SL. Those governments wanted nothing to do with the new SA government because of the double dealing and dishonesty. They knew then that the SADF guys were soldiers at heart and would do the right thing, just as the Nigeys realise today.
The SA government is also susceptible to being strong armed by other powers with interests in the region increasing Nigerian skepticism about South Africa's singular commitment to BH problem solving. I'm just not sure if having various different groups all doing their own thing in a fragmented manner is conducive to mission accomplishment or personal survival. But admittedly my details are thin on the ground other then what is in the public domain.
