Күн бұрынFrom 1966 to 1989 The South African Defense Force (SADF) fought a war on the border between Angola and South West Africa (today known as Namibia). This 23 year conflict is today referred to as the Forgotten War.
The 'Kaplyn' (cutline) was a thin strip of land cleared of any growth. This was the border.
During this period every single white South African son was forced, through the Conscript System, to serve at first, one, then later two years as soon as they left school. A total of 715 South African Soldiers gave their lives to protect their country.

My Dad, came home, but he was never the same....! He came home to a young wife and a little girl, but his soul died out there and therefore we never had a chance of being a family as he could not cope with a normal life. What did he do it for? Our beloved Country has fallen pray to "I am owed, it is my land" but oh my dear where have you shed blood, tears and sweat? Our fathers believed in our Country and they have lost everything to defend it. God hear our cries as I am a boere girl and this is my country too.

I deeply respect and fully understand your pain! We too, Portuguese people born and raised in Angola, have truly sacrificed for the Country we had built from scratch... and ended up losing everything! We were also betrayed by the "Collective West", that allowed a kleptocratic communist regime to seize Power in Angola, in 1975... Thousands of Portuguese soldiers & civilians have lost their lives... literally for nothing! The war is over, but the deep scars still remain... Groete!

they were not fighting for their nation. this were racist whites that were fighting to keep Namibia as a south African province, they introduced a system of racial segregation(apartheid) where blacks were to walk around their own country with passports, blacks could not marry with whites, blacks were not allowed to go to the same schools with whites, black could not buy white bread, blacks could not leave in the same suburbs with whites, they could not seat on the same bench with whites this and many caused a continuation of black uprise in Namibia and South Africa which in Namibia it started in 1904 to 1989. the battle between a racist SADF/police and the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) was launch in 1966 inside Namibia. There is nothing to celebrate here for SADF coz what were they fighting for? they should be embarrassed coz they got nothing from that war, they just wasted their resources and men in the end Namibia remained with Namibians..

The AWB was not really a nazi organization. It is explained by Terre'Blanche in one interview that many people may think that the symbol is similar to the swastika, but it is in fact a christian symbol, not a nazi symbol. Waluś był bohaterem dlatego, bo zabił komunistę - naturalna kolej rzeczy. Nie jest idealnym czlowiekiem, ale zabil komuniste i to tak waznego, wiec no duzo dobrego zrobil. TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH: Walus is a hero, because he killed a communist - its obvious. He may have not been the ideal human being, but at least he killed an important communist, so he has done much good.

Great song, Bok, old son - takes me back to the days - vuurvertonings at Ondangwa, klaarstaan at Eenhana and driving on Oom Willie se pad in a Kwevoel after the marines had swept the road. We, the boys and girls of my generation, we did our duty and we paid a price. FW de Klerk did not do his duty and he's paid no price. Honour and glory to the lads who paid the ultimate price. We remember you and we are eternally grateful. God bless you.

I feel pity for those that judge the "troepies" but yet have no idea what really happened on the border. I was one of the lucky ones that came back too "the states". Well at least my body came back. My heart & mind is still with my fallen brothers. My mother has always said that she sent one son to war and got another back.

Greetings from England. This is a fantastic song and an excellent video. The SADF was outstanding and it is pleasing that so many people around the world are interested in the exploits of the former South African armed forces. It is interesting that the video shows the tombstone of a soldier whose first language was English, and the tombstone of another soldier whose mother-tongue was Afrikaans. I admire the Dutch (they have always been good fighters) but many white South Africans who fought in the SADF were descended from other European settlers as well. For instance, a large number of Germans emigrated to South Africa. Moreover, many white South Africans are of British or French ancestry and there is also a sizeable Portuguese element too.
@k.k8247 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, but the people mostly are called Afrikaners. The boervolk don't like the english much so you won't see many english descent. German, french, dutch are the main heritage of the folk. English kept one side. At armslength

He was then a Recce. I remember he left at 18 full of smiles and life. He returned from Angola a empty shell never the same. He struggled his whole life to fit in society. Today his devorced and a full alcoholic. He drinks every day. He is basicaly dead when he came back from the kaplyn just an emty shell with no words. Thats what our young boys that time did for our country. Thank you uncle and to all recces and all our soldiers for keeping us and our country safe. I salute you.
