These kinds of marches are particularly prevalent in ceremonies of the South African Police Service (SAPS), becoming a significant component of the local ceremonial culture there.

Military and police parades in Sub-Saharan African countries bear a somewhat different character from the 'cold and rigid' discipline approach prevalent in Europe. In these countries, military discipline is interwoven with the rhythm and musical sense of the local culture.

Although it may not be audible in the footage, this march is typically accompanied by a slow-paced band rhythm. As the steps perfectly align with each beat of the music, the resulting scene transforms from a military order into a synchronized group dance.
