Saam met infanterie in Okonkolo, Ombulanto, Ogongo, Meinheni tot Desember 1978. Ek glo mens sal wonderlike stories hier kan lees. Fotos het ek ongelukkig nie a.g.v. rigiede sekeriteit deur die S.A.W. destyds toe daar nog dissipline was. |

My pa het ook op die grens geveg en gelukkig vir my dit oorleef. Hy mag dalk nie in die wereld se oë n held wees nie, maar hy is myne. My oupa was n kruis gevangene in die WWii en hy het aan kanker sy lewe verloor. Ek voel die soldate wat die oorlog oorleef het moet vir n slag ook erkening kry... want hulle het ook hulle lewe geoffer... en baie het jare van hulle lewe verloor. Aan almal wat op die grens geveg het Dankie.... en die van julle wat dit oorleef het.... Julle is my Hero's! |

My hart gaan uit na die famielies wat pa's, broers, oom's, oupa's en huiweliks maat verloor het en soos dit lyk was dit alles verniet. |

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?? |
