Hmm, your Zulu-in-arms, Mzilakazi said as much. Just scroll to last night's posts. You had US mercenaries. Matter of fact, the Angolan army would have fenced your troops till they starved to death if it wasn't for the American mercenaries. You had British and American tanks, you lying thief.

So the soviet union collapsed and proposed you pulled out of Angola and Namibia? How's a dying man negotiating from the point of strength?

See how desperate your ill-written fiction is? The soviet union is collapsing, the SANDF should be dictating the terms of negotiations, not they asking you to concede Namibia and pull outta Angola. Your lie is so very unconvincing.


It's clear your troops were having their arses whooped that's why you surrendered to the negotiation table, pulled out of Angola with your tails behind your back and forewent your ambition in Namibia.

Simple fact.
I don't care what someone else said, it was never the intention for the NP to annex any country, if you say it was, provide a citation to prove it.

Nope there were no US mercenaries fighting for the SADF, neither did we have any US build Tanks.Angola on the other hand had thousands of Cuban troops plus sophisticated Soviet equipment

Actually the US were dictating the terms of the negotiations after the fall of the Soviet Union. After all we were fighting a proxy war on behalf of the US, thus it would be politically damaging to them if we continued our Angolan campaign and didn't give Namibia their independence after the fall of the Soviet Union. But honestly I don't expect you to understand geopolitics, as its a much to advanced concept for your tiny mind to fathom.

This is the second time in two days he has contradicted you. You should care what your compatriot says here.

He shot you in the foot. You should be bothered if you aren't an unhinged, uninhibited pathological liar.

Angola had teenage Cuban pilots; they rid the skies off the overhyped S.A pilots.

The US wasn't dictating the nagotiating terms, they were presuring the Angolan army not to butcher you completely.

If the negotiations was as a result Of the collapse of the Soviet Union, why would you be the one conceding, why not the russans?

1. Cuban pilots did no such thing

2. The Angolan army that did not win a single battle was going to butcher us?

3.Cubans met the terms We outlined

Simple facts

Let me Zulu down to your level for easier comprehension.

Boers wanted the entire sandc to strengthen the hold of apartheid regime. Other countries especially Angola has been pushing for independence amongst southern African countries.

Your neighbours' anti-apartheid sentiments were growing stronger. Botha fears it is coming home and decided to quell the feud abroad before it spreads home and Zulus become wiser.

So the Boers backed regimes that promised to support apartheid in most southern African neighbouring countries, they interfered militarily and politically throughout the region for self-preservation.

When Angola proved unyielding, military option was the last resort for South Africa. The Angolans being so tiny only had teenage Cuban girls for pilots who shot the over hyped south African air force out of the skies.

You were backed by American mercenaries and amour. But you suffered defeat.

America pleaded on your behalf for negotiations, once the Angolan troops encircled the SANDF. In order to clear the last vestige of apartheid influence from the region, Angola demanded the independence of Namibia.

You can twist your points but it doesn't change history.

When Jacob Zuma went on a military parade and remembrance in Angola 2009, he acknowledged the facts and praised the Angolan military for humiliating the apartheid army.


Now whose report is more credible, Zuma, your president or that of a self-doubting, ego-haunting ,e-wanderer like you?
Where are you getting this from?

OK, so despite saying that I am a troll - and then saying I am not a troll - within the space of 5 min, you have as of yet to deal with the substance of the argument

Instead you pull back and fire a barrage of personal insults, because you know that in an argument of fact and logic you stand no chance.

You are out if your league here, go play somewhere else.

Please do so, it is a simple request... I find it bizarre that I meet a wall of insults when I request it

six months ago this same argument ensued and I provided by sources. You took a hiatus and came up with a doctored wiki as a counter point. You want to go through the whole process of denial again? With a home made edited link?

You shifted and retorted, shamefully, "who cares about a worthless letter"

Why should I agree with anyone? Be it a South African or not? Do you agree with everything your country men say on this thread? Did you agree when one of your compatriots said air is more dens at higher altitude?

Citation that proves Cuban pilots shot down more SAAF pilots than SAAF pilots shot down Cuban pilots.

The Cubans and Russians withdrew out of Angola months before we withdrew, in fact our withdraw was 13 months behind schedule, thus the US put a lot of pressure on the SADF to withdraw out of Angola as it was politically damaging to them to have an Allie on foreign soil when there was no threat from the Soviet Union.

Ok so air is more dens at higher altitude according to Nigerians? And you try to discredit our education system! Wow not only are you a retaaard but you're a hypocritical retaaard!! New lows mate, well done!

Anyway unlike you I research the facts, I don't take anything seriously posted on this thread be it from a South African or not if it hasn't been backed up by citations or if I've researched the topic my self.

And our president said nothing about Angola defeating the SADF mate!

So what's Zuma praising the Angolan army for? For surrendering to the SANDF and taking a beating?

Nope, he praised the Angolan army for bringing peace to the entire region and putting a stop to the progress of apartheid. He praised them for Namibian independence and for defeating the south African troop.

He praised them for the role they played in the fight against apartheid and having the bravery to take arms against a military superpower.NOT because they defeated the SADF.
