jln115:you southafricans are diminishing the relevance of sources here. Do you really require source to sweeten your dish of denial? You ask for source on facts that has become a byword for the SANDF? here are your sources, you really know so little about your own country's millitary engagements. Your only motive in this thread is your obvious love for Nigerians. http://monthlyreview.org/2013/04/01/the-military-defeat-of-the-south-africans-in-angola/ 2 Likes |

EVarn:I tell you, I am beginning to like these stubborn southies here. Their strong headedness reminds me of time I used to sweet-talk those stubborn chicks in school until they started draining my phone batteries with date requests. And then I had to improvise to deal with the pressure........ I had to start cancelling dates-lol Come to think of it, the Angola vs South Africa war was the biggest conventional war in Africa yet. AND South Africa LOST, BIG TIME!!! The boko haram terrorist insurgent war is the biggest and deadliest in Africa still. And the Nigerian Military came out tops in an unprecedented military campaign in African history. This just add to our rich military records in Africa, Europe and on home soil. The comparison between the SANF and the NA is nothing but a literary exercise for boredom's sake. 1 Like |

And now I, Leslie, will slaughter you with a source which is the SOURCE of all your(all SouthAfricans on this thread) sources. This source shows how Southafrica officially, with help from the assist. secretary of state of the Donald Reagan administration by name of Chester Crocker, attempted to rewrite south African war history for the sake of the neo-colonialists.

lezz: hahahaha what a load of sh1t Where are the "heavy" casualties they claim? During the entire 23 year bush war South Africa suffered only 1791 casualties. Thats around 80 men per year How did we attack Quito with a river between us and the town? As augbuggub says we are a "dry land only army". Lets take it one step further - if our plan was to capture the town, why did we attack in such a way that puts the river between us and the town? There were multiple axis's of advance that would not have a river obstacle! Also, if we planned on capturing the town, why did we wait until the Cubans had masses a freaking armored brigade there? Why didnt we attack earlyer or just wait until the Cubans sent their Brigade east against UNITA and then attack? Why did Castro have the Cuban General commanding the operation executed? Why were the Cubans unable to launch one single offensive against us? 60 000 men and not once did they try to directly attack us! More blithering nonsense from some deluded clown. 2 Likes |

Patchesagain:Ah, relax patchesagain, my blush-radar is sensing your heat and blushes across this platform. First off, the sandf had its nearest base in Namibia which it has been occupying illegally for some time. The fact that your president flew there to give a last minute moral booster for a demoralised troop is something to keep your hands full. Your rage occasioned by the revelation of truth has knocked you onto a path of blinded banter. You didn't deny the fact that southafrica officially attempted to rewrite her war history, no? SANDF dabacle in Angola guaranteed the independence of Namibia, no? That you lost that more with over 9,000 troops more than 500 tanks, aircrafts and more, no? I didn't expect you to own up, son.

lezz: The president did not fly in to do any such thing South Africa is not re-writing history - it is certain elements within the black community who are desperatly trying to cover up the fact that their liberation movements posed no military threat and were nothing more than targets to be shot for the SADF. Confirmed by the fact that the ANC leaves the history about SADF involvement in Angola untouched - they have enough dignity to provide respect where respect is due. South Africa offered Namibian independance in the mid-1970's - provided the Cubans meet our terms and withdraw from Angola (which they ended up doing anyway) 9000 men and 500 tanks? Are you high? We only lost 1791 men in the entire 23 year war. Lezz, you are so utterly ridiculous, inferior even to augugbaby. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 12:15pm On Apr 04, 2015 |
lezz: Zuma's visit is nothing but statesmanship. History of the border war remains untouched - and considering the way it is taught in South Africa, under ANC governemnt, I would say that our version is pretty accurate. |

lezz:"Both sources are clearly diffrent in origin and in details." Uhm....NO!!!! they are exactly the same! http://monthlyreview.org/2013/04/01/the-military-defeat-of-the-south-africans-in-angola/ "Between October 1987 and June 1988, in the fiercest conventional battles on African soil since Erwin Rommel was defeated at El Amien, the South African Defence Forces (SADF) fought pitched tank and artillery battles with the Angolan army (FAPLA, the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola) and its Cuban supporters at Cuito Cuanavale. This small base located in southeastern Angola became important in the military history of Africa, for there the South African army, supposedly the best on the continent, was trapped with its tanks and artillery and held down more than 300 miles from its bases in Namibia. Failing to take Cuito Cuanavale with over 9,000 soldiers, even after announcing that it had done so, losing air superiority, and faced with mutinies among black troops and a high casualty rate among whites, the South Africans reached such a desperate situation that President Botha had to fly to the war zone when the operational command of the SADF broke down." "With Cuban reinforcements, the Angolans withstood major assaults on January 23, February 25, and March 23. The South Africans were repulsed with heavy losses, and the Angolan/Cuban forces seized the initiative. For the first time since 1981, the Angolan army was able to reoccupy the area adjacent to Namibia. So confident were the Angolans and Cubans, that in the space of less than three months they built two air strips to consolidate their recapture of the southern province of Cunene. Trapped by the rainy season, bogged down by the terrain, and encircled, the South Africans made one desperate attempt to break out on June 27 and were again defeated. One South African newspaper called the defeat “a crushing humiliation.”" "The First Defeat of South Africa, 1975–1976 The anticolonial struggle in Angola, which led to the 1974 coup in Portugal, was a turning point for Southern Africa. South Africa intervened with CIA support by land, sea, and air to stop the MPLA from coming to power. The Angolans asked for Cuban help to defeat the invasion led by South Africans, Zairian regulars, and CIA mercenaries. " http://www.pambazuka.net/en/category.php/features/48547 "Between October 1987 and June 1988, in one of the fiercest conventional battles fought on African soil, the troops of the South African Defence Forces (SADF) fought pitched tank and artillery battles with the Angolan army (FAPLA) and her Cuban supporters at Cuito Cuanavale. This small base located in Southeastern Angola (in the province of Cuando Cubango) became important in the military history of Africa, for the South African apartheid army, supposedly one of the better equipped armies in Africa was trapped more than three hundred miles from its bases in Namibia, a territory which it was illegally occupying. Failing to take Cuito Cuanavale with over 9,000 soldiers even after announcing to the world that Cuito Cuanavale had fallen; losing its superiority in the air; and faced with mutinies from the black troops of the pressed ganged battalions, the operational command of the SADF broke down." "With Cuban reinforcements, the Angolan fighters withstood major assaults by the South African military on January 23, 1988, February 25 and finally on March 23. The South Africans were repulsed with heavy losses as the Angolan/Cuban forces seized the military initiative. The Angolan army, for the first time since Operation Protea (the code name for the conventional attack by the SADF) in 1981, was able to reoccupy the area of Southern Angola adjacent to the Namibian border. In the space of less than three months the engineering units and construction workers of the Angolan/Cuban forces were able to build two airstrips defended with anti aircraft weapons to consolidate their recapture of the Southern province of Cunene. Bogged down with their conventional weapons by the terrain and rainy season, the South African army made one desperate attempt to break the encirclement on June 27, 1988. They were once again trounced, with the Angolan pilots in firm in control of Angolan airspace." "THE FIRST DEFEAT OF THE APARTHEID ARMY Once Portuguese fascism collapsed in April 1974 the forces of US imperialism and the army of apartheid had to come out in full force if they were to perpetuate external control over Angola. The apartheid South African army intervened militarily in 1975 to stop the MPLA from coming to power after the poor of Sambizanga routed the FLNA forces allied with the army of Mobutu. At this point, the Angolans invited the Cubans to help defeat the invading apartheid, the Zairian army regulars, and the mercenaries employed by the CIA."

All photo provided by us of olifant are photoshop, SANDF has only -250 olifant tank, thus common sens tells us SANDF must build 250 olifants ,then only will South Africa have 0 tanks, because -250+250 = 0 !!!

jln115:I soon am going to create a thread entitled "what is wrong with south Africans" That a portion of both sources have similar details makes them the same? Did the first source mentioned about president Zuma's visit with a high level parliament delegation? Did the first source mention the lack of knowledge of south africa's youth about the war, which is one of the reasons you have been showcasing your idiocy and lack of formal education here? Did the first source point to the fact that Chester Crocker attempted, together with military writers in Pretoria to deceive the press by claiming the sandf pulled out due to peace talk when in fact the angolans broke their communication link and command and had them under siege? If the sandf pulled out for peace talk, then can you kindly tell us what they got in return ? Because Angola bleeped your military and ordered the independence of Namibia!!!
