After the Sa 25 was declared obsolete in 1968, many of the 9 mm weapons have been sold around the world. The surplus weapons were exported to other communist countries including North Vietnam. A modified copy of the 9x19 model was produced in Rhodesia (today’s Zimbabwe) in the early 1970s as the LDP. Manufacture was later transferred to South Africa where it was briefly marketed as the Sanna 77 in semi-automatic fire only, for sale and use by white farmers as protection during the country's difficulties.
