Date: Fri 5/2/10 9:24AM From: Cindy Email: cindy@homestagers.co.za Message: I second Maureen in her gratefulness to all the heros of the ex SADF - you guys rock! My teenage son knows all about you and that you were the best fighting force on the African continent. As P.M. Ian Smtih said: "We weren't beaten by our enemies - we were betrayed by our friends". You will always be remembered. God bless you all. |

Date: Mon 11/1/10 6:29PM From: Chris Vorster Email: cv@orangemail.co.bw Message: Good that you keeping this part of sa history alive.. it shouldn't be pushed away under the carpet... it had major effect on our lives that most young people today have no idea about... I was a ops medic 80/81 did see lots of dead people in oshakati when I was only 18... it sure screwed me up a bit and I relate to the article on bossies... I too wonder about the 50000 and the poor guys for whom it was too much... was life changing and forced upon the youth of those times.... for what?? |
