Mandela and apartheid governingtaxfree.wordpress.com/2018/10/03/mandela-and-apartheid/

It’s astonishing what could be accomplished in spite of the sanctions.

Great video thanks for sharing

Nice

Jan Hougart holding the landmine up @ 27min 21 Sec during is 32 days. What a blast from the past!

Half told truths

Wonderful vehicle, trusted by everyone who ever had the fortune to ride in one, or drive it! Robust is not the word somehow... Granite is better. Cheers Boet!

Superficial history and guy from Military Museum clearly out of the loop. If you want the real story check out Legacy Conversations. Straight from the leaders and operators who fought for the country not a regime. Highly professional. Radical Politicians and ideologues the real enemy

Terrible ones!

South Africans did not fight as a united front in WW1. Many sympathized with the Germans who had materialy supported the boers in the Boer War. A large number of former boer troops marched north and joined the Germans in modern day Namibia - then German South West Africa. For this reason, some of the early fighting of WW1 took place in Africa between these two forces, with the British ultimately being victorious. It must be said that it was only a partial boer force that fought with the Germans, but they did exist and battles were fought with German SWA then being annexed into South Africa. The naval base at Windhoek remained South African territory until the advent of full democracy in South Africa in 1994.

I know several men in the military, that is from ages ago all the way back to the second Anglo Boer war. There are no winners in any war. Just survivors who are mentally messed up. Violent at home running their homes like a military operation. My dad turned out like that and both my ex-husbands were just as messed up. Apartheid I never fathomed. I could not reconcile the 2. Christianity and Apartheid. This until I was a student at Rand Afrikaans University.RSA treads on thin ice today. I learnt a lot about things in this video. We still strive for freedom in a still very divided land.❤

Not very accurate historically.

We had such a great country!

If two Irish men are fighting, you can be sure a English man visited one of the two the previous day. - Irish proverb

The fight was against USSR communism terrorism infiltration into South African not against apartheid. Apartheid was more like cowboys wanting to be cowboys and Indians wanting to be indians things were in agreement and cosy between different races in South Africa thought by most likely born in South Africa that's how it was and the west wasn't instrumental in dismantling apartheid it was the USSR and the international Communism agencies. The USA called their separateness segregation.

😮 so RSA-Ingeneurs het al in 1987 hierdie Leër Wonderwerk ontwerp + Noú bestaan ARMSCOR nie Eers meer nie!! Dis ñ Ramp

Most of it is propaganda of false unity in south africa

When this video was made, none of the top bras spokes could forseen of how the army will be and how it will look in the year 2024.... A true riller...... 😢😢😢

Ag my ou Suid Afrika, jou mooie plek. Afrika is a Tuff country papas

One can't be proud of our military today. It became an insult to us that served a once proud strong military in South Africa. Old vet, 1986/87 and military camps there after...

Today the army is a absolute circus 🎪

Ek het die voorreg gehad om in die SAPK te kon dien!! PANTSERSKOOL, 1SDB, 1SA TANK REG EN PRETORIA REG!

lekker

We had a great country 😢

👍

man this is truly interesting history

chew some hard bones those days veteran 1969 for 15 jrs in pf.

My father joined the SSB in 1939, I have some old photos of armoured car being prepared in Egypt unfortunately none of when they transferred to Sherman tanks in Italy. He spent a total of 9 or 10 years in the army. Spoke of legends like Papa Brits, and the battalion's time at Roberts Heights.

Never pledged to upheld apartheid, we served the government of the day and it was a seamless transition from the National Party to the ANC gov.

What do you mean the old Bedford was used up until the 70's? I was in one in 1989 while at School of Armour, and on the way back from De Brug, the damned thing broke down just outside Tempe base. Those things are heavy, but we pushed it back to camp. My older brother was in Logistics during Ops Modular and Hooper, driving Kwevoel 100 trucks up to Cuito Canaval with ammo. He loved sleeping on the warm, flat hood of the truck, away from all those bitey things on the ground. The downside was diving out of the high cab to seek cover when a Cuban or Angolan Mig straffed the convoy.

Not a mention of the Tiffies Armour would not have moved without them

School of Armour 89 - 90. 1 Light Horse 90 - 94. They missed out mentioning the new School of Armour badge adopted in 1989, made of lead and tin... that thing was so heavy it pulled your beret forward to shade your eyes.

Those were the days…..product development, Rosslyn, Pretoria. Short period of time for me, but meaningfull

Some fimiliar faces and place... Legends of note.

Impressive and rare video. thank you

Many thanks for the very nice and interesting video. The machine was an OM and the gearbox from ZF. But what kind of chassis was used? Thank you very much.

Die vlam van die Pantser brand vir ewig

Its not Deuts . Its Deutz like Deutschland.

Why the music ?

Iveco underpinning.

It was indeed a proud era

So mooi. My tyd op Hoedspruit gedoen.

Oh boy....this brings a lump to my throat. Fond memories and a love for those beautiful planes. My Dad who passed on three years ago was a fitter armourer on them, the Sabres, and others. Waterkloof, Swartkops, Pietersburg, Hoedspruit and Rundu. Those were good days.

So sad it’s over. The best of the best. Proudly SA😢

The music is annoying, would be better to simply hear the jets

Canny vehicle
