 | "Parabat" the documentary is a 3 part series The Parabats were elite airborne soldiers in the South African Defence Force. During the SWA/Namibian border war, the Bats took part in several cross border operations into Angola and provided airborne Fireforce back-up to counter insurgency units on the ground.
The esprit de corps in this unit is legendary. In "Parabat" the documentary, South Africa's Airborne soldiers tell their own stories from 1960 to 1994.

Mandume, kolomesho, kolomesho, fok links, verby hulle,’ (left, left, fuck left drive past) I shouted down to Mandume and Mandume swung our Casspir to the left. As Boats’ Casspir was about to pass ours he opened fire with his .50 Browning. A long burst erupted and the insurgent was blown to hell and gone by the rounds while their driver Abraham drove their Casspir straight over the insurgent. My only concern was who would be paid the kopgeld?’ (b... |

 | | ‘One Namibia, One Nation!’ This slogan, one of the many chants of the South West African People’s Organization (SWAPO of Namibia) during the liberation struggle, called on the whole nation to come together and fight the common enemy in order to liberate the country from the yoke of apartheid. The men, the youth, the elders and the women were to form a solid team to contribute to the struggle in many ways. Calling on the nation to unite as one was a crucial point as the fractures in society were ... |

 | As of 1975, the decades long insurgency in Angola appeared to be short of its conclusion. However, with no less than three major insurgent movements fighting for supremacy, the war went on and then South Africa, USA, the Soviet Union, Zaire and Cuba became involved.
Affairs like the CIA’s efforts to destabilise Angola for little else but to recoup its prestige after the catastrophic defeat in South Vietnam, or the South African military intervention in Angola – Operation Savannah – ha... |

 | A very interesting book on FAPLA of Angola. The book recounts the major transformations of the Angolan armed forces since the beginning of the national liberation armed struggle up til after independence. The first 15 years of its existence.

 | From the Preface: Pro Patria: Another 50 Natal Carbineer Years 1945—1995 is intended to serve as a sequel to Reverend John Stalker's The Natal Carbineers 1855 to 1911 (1912) and Professor Alan Hattersley’s Carbineer (1950). In adding another illustrious chapter to the history of South Africa’s senior Citizen Force regiment, this book also hopes to both inform and entertain the reader in a manner that the annals-type Stalker history and Hattersley’s incomplete story often failed to do.

 | | Napoleon famously said that an army marches on its stomach. This is the story of the endeavours of a volunteer unit to feed a variety of stomachs over a century. From its origins at the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War, the men of 15 Maintenance Unit have kept their fellow soldiers supplied with rations, equipment, fuel and ammunition. To do so they have used every conceivable type of transport: ox wagon, mule cart, camel, sled and every type of truck to ensure that the supply lines never faltered... |
