This Morning... For the First time in our history of 300 years were
South African troops, The once, most feared on the continent of Africa and comparable, only to Israel when it comes to sheer strength and brute-force, were compelled to surrender to Congolese Rebels in the Congo...
A Coloured, female South African Defence Force soldier, left a gut-wrenching call to her family, late last night to explain their dire-situation.
The WhatsApp message, revealed that the Uruguyan and Malawian troops, embedded withe SANDF simply drove off the two bases, operated by 21 SAI, leaving the South Africans in a fight for their lives... One SA Base, ran out of ammo and were re-supplied by the remaining Base with a SAMIL troop-carrier truck... When the rebels, became aware of the South Africans attempting to re-supply the other Base, they clearly perceived this act as the SANDF, taking a "last-stand" and concentrated their troops on the SANDF bases... The bases were overrun, late yesterday afternoon, inflicting heavy casualties on the South Africans and compelling the SANDF commander with the rank of a Colonel, to surrender his two SANDF bases to the rebels...
The South Africans were swiftly, disarmed and confined to Base...
Never, in our proud history, not in the Battle of Tobruk, or the Battle of Square-Hill or Delville-Woods or even the South African Bush War, had any South African detachment, ever been forced to surrender...ever.
As the author of this topic and a Para-Military trained Former South African Police Officer, I do not think, now is the time to be angry about anything... Now is the time, to do every effort to bring our Boys and Girls, home... With tears in my eyes, I say, We need to bury our dead... We need to bestow the full honours to our fallen troops...
Both, SADF and SANDF as well as SAP and SAPS, We will, in true and proud South African Military history, honour our dead, by not raising the very obvious political issues, for now....
But, when all this is done... We will demand a serious talk with our "Panga-President" and his Septic... ANC and demand anwers... It is also time, for a Non-ANC minister to be appointed, as Defence Minister in the GNU, who will have to probe, why our troops were there in the first place...
