Saxonwold, Johannesburg Objects from the Angola War in the 1980's |
||
I pass this place almost every day.
It was visited many times in my childhood,
but not too often since.
However I have retained a deep fascination and interest in military technology.
My visit in early June 2005 was really to document the military technology on display
that
was used in the Angolan War in the 1970's and 80's.
Its all too familiar and very fresh in my memory - and I am sure in a lot
of others as well.
Some formidable equipment was developed by the South Africans.
(with the help of a few friends)
Some "context"
web sites that show the frame and state of mind of hte South
Africans
The Cassinga raid
In no way do I support the views or interpretation of events as expressed in these links
Its simply some of the many stories that must be told,
Some perspectives of events that surrounded us during these years
