From warinangola.com : The Cape Town Rifles "Duke's" were raised in Cape Town as the Cape Rifle Corps on 28 Nov 1855, making it the oldest Cape infantry unit. The name changed to the Cape Town Rifles in 1857. In 1876, the Cape Town Rifles became the Duke of Edinburgh's Own Volunteer Rifles, known as The Dukes. It served in almost every campaign since the 9th Frontier War (1877-78). The Duke of Edinburgh's Own Rifles were renamed the "Cape Town Rifles" on 31 May 1961 when South Africa became a republic. The official title was changed again, in October 1966, to "Cape Town Rifles (Dukes)". The Regiment was granted the Freedom of the City of Cape Town on 10 October 1967. After 1994 it became part of the SANDF and in 2019 it was renamed to Chief Langalibalele Rifles.
