I usually have my car radio set to listen to talk Radio 702 (look it up - http://www.702.co.za/).
One morning some discussion was held around the current "Freedom Park" memorial site. (look it up). The powers that be have decided to include the names of a whole bunch of irrelevant people, but have made the decision to EXCLUDE all those WHITE soldiers who were conscripted into the old SADF in the apartheid years to fight against the perceived communist threat from the North.
So what, say I. Some of those who gave their lives were friends of mine, and I do not think any of them would want to be included in this "Park" memorial anyway. They fought for what they were led to believe was the defense of their country from the advancing "Red Tide", the threat of communism which was at the time advancing at a rapid rate into Africa.
Today, the powers that be believe we were fighting for Apartheid, and in it's defense. Well, they can think what they like. We stopped communism in it's tracks, therefore we succeeded in our mission.
And we did so proudly.
To hell with the rest.
Salagatle!
