white south africans need to wake up...this rainbow nation is just a load of crap and it will lead to an anti white genocide soon...recces were tops before 91...
Shit now I miss me old mate Minnaar with the Big Ears hehehe.... Hope yer well matey!
Mystic yeah and they were nomadic people land ownership was unknown to them.. hahaha now they claim lands of their ancestors?? Could never understand that one!
Look at any video about SADF, Marines, whatever, still we fight an armchair war, at least its safer, but the abuse is still there. Honour all soldiers - we did the dirty work, we believed we were right, the best ... Whatever ideology we adopted or believed in, its mostly fat-cat politicians that lied and deceive - Madiba excluded. I had hope for a Rainbow nation and I tried to make my contribution, a time waste I think. Pray it does not mimic the rest of Africa - self governed screw ups mostly.
you know what i love about all the comments on all these awesome videos of the old South Africa that non of those uneducated dumb twits have learnt any history!!! the blacks migrated down to the South because they were looking for grazing for their cattle and then heard about the "new people". South Africa belonged to the Hottentot . geeeezzzz people learn your history first then get on the band wagon
Honor to all those who had to fight the Border Wars to secure a safe and progressive homeland
roepstem you poephol!!! how many years have blacks been mistreated in south africa? and you expect them to forgive and forget in less than 20 years!!! you lucky you still alive...its not you who has given them a chance...but they have forgiven you...you lucky the ANC and mandella was so forgiving...he could have destroyed the whites...but he didnt...and still not much has changed...cause the white man really still holds the power.im a white "soutie", you a dutchman...your mentality is why i left
@joninyt No Mandela is Lucky to still be alive if it was the English that ruled he would have been dead like dead can be.. thanks to the Boere and specially Dr. Verwoerd he can still breath the beautiful african air. And you know you fuck face i'm a dutchman like you say and I'm proud to be one because we were the only nation to kick your arse in war 30000 against 400000.
PS if the blacks had it so bad how come from 1910 till 1996 the from 10000 to 6 million.. we did treat them bad hey..
@rooivalk24 well i was never at war with the afrikaans...im not english buthole!!! keep making your excuses..nazi wanabe fucka!!! death to the volkstaat
@joninyt well dude i'm no nazi!! I hate what they did bcuz it caused so much hatred all over the world towards the white people. you say your not english but you're a white "SOUTIE" what the f**k is the difference? you have your european passport where as we the "dutchman" boere only have the south african one.. we came to stay in africa! not like the souties!!
@joninyt We have to forgive each other everyday. We have awesome army. I'm proud of SANDF. I don't like when people are divided because of politics. The reality each an every person have a responsibility to do good not evil. As we stand as one nation no one can defeat us.
@rocketross11 look we all know zuma is an asshole...and we all know there is reverse racism etc...thats not what im arguing... its just that people dont take responsibility for the past...
Good pics. To all those that left and talk crap about us like Kandiceleroux, good riddance and we dont want you back. We will build SA back together to be the envy of the world.
Dit gaan goed dankie. It's not that I miss the old SA. It is SA I miss. The new structure is not realy better for anyone but the elite vew. Poverty still prevails ect. Lot of people died on all sides for nothing. I respect all soldiers. I just hope politicians will do what is right for there followers. Politics spoils everything on all sides.
@captainstroh I agree mate, and feel exactly the same. I pray SA does not go the same way. Have you seen Angola lately? I'm not pro colonial, but what a shit-hole it looks like. There is still rubble from +25 years ago in many streets (the Porra's would have have harvested the bricks within a day to build new structures!), not a single new building, but always, its someone else's fault... Geez, during the Blitz they were sweeping up within hours! China is now raping minerals, err, 'developing'.
Vok jou en jou hele family Gaanmaree dis oor mense soos jy dat ons land is soos hy is vandag alles wat die manne geveg het weg gepis omdat jy liberal doos is. Jou vokken ma en pa is maplotters

Much is forgotten of the 1 Rec's dependence on Rhodesian SAS in the early days under Maj Gen Sasche. Breytenbach described them as the hardest men who had ever seen. Later it was 1 Rec that hauled them out of shit in Zambezia and Gaza provinces of Northern Mozambique. Little has been written of Jonny Roxo - a Portugese (white) Mozam, described as the white devil who obliterated units of FRELIMO at a time single handedly. Unfortunately he passed on before becoming a valued SADF "oppie".
Hey man this brought back stuff, (these 3 comments by sirromtrbor- thanks for this, it is better to the video - no bad reflection to the maker of the video, but not as accurate as this report. served to train them in phase 1 north of Jozini 75-77. and also assisted in comms for op's into Moz. We Klapped them and Roxo was cool. Dead eyes though.
Joint Operations was not the CoC until 2 Rec was formed - largely comprised of Hunter Force members at it core - which opened operative recruitment to the civilian corps in the SADF. Interestingly, many "recces" failed parabat training with 1 Paras due to Para resentment, the lack of their own para training and due to severity of 1 Paras physical. As a result 1 Rec started its own para training for operatives - easier it is believed. But on weapons and incursion 1 Rec was superior.
Initial "Recce" operative training was based at Oudtshoorn, in the then Cape Province and later moved to the Bluff in Durban, where the acquisition of a defunct Naval base become home for the duration of the border conflicts vs Frelimo and later the FNLA/MPLA insurgents. BJ Vorster was oblivious - according to Breytenbach, the founder of 1 Rec Com and Van den Bergh - of any initial ops in Biafra as early as 68. Intelligence distanced itself from BOSS - police security and was overseen Gen Lootz.
I use to be part of the struggle and foundmyselfpartof the old SADF,we definatly achieved victory and due to,politial chabges we lost South Africa after 10 years of alternative rule I think most South Africans long back to the old days of law and order be it black of white, commening from a true South african forced to live abroad.
there are a lot of us oumanne that feel that way bru! Also commenting from a Saffa living abroad. Country is going down the crapper- if only we could turn back the clock of time huh? Maybe we would not have let the ANC have it so easy
Country was nice for 14% of the whites, for the rest it was shit, But you keep indulging yourself in your closeminded views. Also the time you got the fuck out of SA, you gave up the privilege of calling yourself South African.
Hey dude you shouldn't comment things if you don't know what really happened.. If you do that you'r a IGNORANT LITTLE DIPSHIT..
go and study the history first of the country and i'm not saying to watch documentary's because that's just bullshit media. go to the country live with the people take the books and READ and listen and then you comment.
Waaah Waah!! I don't get to oppress 80% of the population and live a privileged life while the rest of the country lives in hell Waah wahh! I don't get un-deserved jobs and money like I used to, so I'll move to UK and still pretend I love South Africa, as long as we get Apartheid back. Go cry somewhere else man, it's pathetic.
so then tell me what i got more than a black kid from south africa.. i would really like to know. and another thing you'll always be from the country you were born no matter from where in the world you are.
Ok let's see, education, proper housing, chance to get a government job pretty much wherever you wanted, better facilities, plumbing etc. I could go on, while a "black kid" got sub standard schooling where teacher to student ratios were astounding, a black hospital where standards were on par with rest of the third world country.
But no you're right. They're oppressing whites just for rectifying the disadvantages given to them.
dude i don't know from where you got all this BULLSHIT but like I said go and do a bit of research. I know the truth because of all the SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, HOUSING PROJECTS that were built for them. government OK that's wright in a way, but only if you could pass the score if not you didn't get it and let me tell you something else if you didn't work you died NO GOVERNMENT HELP WHATSOEVER and the that shit you say teacher to student ratio bullshit Dude I was in a class of 32 just like black kids
you are so wrong and you sound like an idiot im not south african im american i lived there and i can tell you that whites are getting fired murdered raped just for being white.......by the way it is a very bad idea to get your information from a news source that has been biased on this subject sense the begining
You do your best to reinforce the stereotype of dumb, ignorant American don't you. If you take simple statistics, you'll see that whites aren't disporportionate victims of crime, if anything, there's more black on black or white on black crime, proportionately. But you keep on reading sensationalist, tabloid news you ignorant stupid FUCK. You ignorant fucks piss me off so much. Just fucking die in a hole already.
Togo ass, if you cant say anything good don't say anything at all. I can see your the one that reads to much tabloids and are so far off the truth it will take a rebirth to get you back. NICE VID it gives me goosebumps.
HAHA I love it. As long as 80% of the population was living in poverty, misery and crime it was fine. Shamelessly you suppressed majority of the country and cry bloody murder when they want some power back. White Saffers are the most shameless group. After suppressing whole population for half a century, you cry bloody murder when they want some power back. Yeah, I'm sure you would want "the good old days" back. You know what it wasn't the good old days for most of the blacks.
@InturnetHaetMachine the good old days yeah that was crap being safe hey much better now that theres more people being killed than in botyh the afgan and iraq wars combined , aids is highest in the world and we have the most corrupt government with the highest murder , armed robbery, gangrape of women children and babies AND ANIMALS and the police hire security guards yeah its really great now isnt it u lunatic.
Crime was high, just not reported because it would look bad for apartheid govt. poverty everywhere, but you were living in blissful ignorance so it was all good wasn't it my bru.
listen dude you should get the facts straight first.. I'll give you some exp. with the war we had in angola we only had about 14000 deaths a year today we have about 32000 + -, that's every 23hours a cop every 30sec a woman get raped and the list goes on and on. so don't comment BULLSHIT do your homework first DIPSHIT!!!
@rooivalk24 intheatmchn is a complete liberal doos communist lier. Its not the first time ive seen his lies like this he cant help it its a mental disease.Liberalism=lunatic
For those of you who are confused. The Recce Regiments are nicknamed "the recces" and badged personel are known as "operators", nothing more and nothing less. After serving with the Parabats for 3 years I went on to pass selection and served with 5 Recce for 6 years. If anyone has any sensible questions to ask please feel free and I will answer them the best I can. I now live in London. Vasbyt manne....
South Africa followed the west, which is now also crumbling at a fast paste. They should have reached to Russia instead, no lies, no backbiting, no fraud, no greed. Only a big bear friend to protect them in need. Even a little island like Cuba could never been touched by the so called "super powers", they had the true big bear friend. To all the commentators here, the tide is turning fast, frauded wealth or not. South Africa, pick true friends this time and you'l have real peace..
My interesting question to all, what was apartheid South African troops fighting for in Angola and had they achieved either military operational objectives or the grand political strategy? If we are to examine the liberation strategy of SWAPO and the ANC, then the facts will in the end answer the question as to whether SWAPO and the ANC have achieved the objectives of their struggle respectively.
Katy, let us remind you that Swapo never set up a base or had them in South West Africa, You guys tried during the pullout and during UNTAG,. Swapo never achieved any of their objectives, and all S.A.D.F objectives in Angola were achieved, the only thing that stoped us from going further were the politicians....
i must agree with you in what you said but there another thing why we couldn't go further into angola was the Russian that layed anchor in Luanda harbor. they gave us only a short time to withdraw and if we stayed it could have turned into a massive international conflict so that was the main reason for the withdraw of angola..
No henry kissanigger kissinger who had asked the south africans to "assist" pulled the plug when SADF was in site of luanda,thery did expect such a rapid advance,luanda was ther for the taking,with respect to all my american friends your goverment for years has betrayed those who thought u were a allied with, lets make sure we never 4get what they did or more to the point did not do.
arc777ane:NAMIBIA is in hand of swapo, sa in hand of anc our objectif this is the fact,stubones:saddam was driven out in kowet by usa, sadf was driven out in angola n namibia by cuba ,swapo n mpla. so there!
The idiots came with all they had, and got driven back with their tails between their legs...there were never any intention of taking Cuito on a counter attack.
stubones:what the ratio of irak war? independance war? yes sadf was a strong army in africa but it was defeated by cuba n fapla at cuito, that was the turning point,
Actually, they pushed the terrorist all the way to their capital, almost took the whole Angola.All the negative comments are full of spelling mistakes, ill grammer and no punctuality.That reflect your level of education, I forgot you don't need education that why you burnt all the schools down in SA that was built for you in apartheid, and you'll soon have a president that never went to school.What a joke...wich will turn into a hard lesson for SA.Oo I forgot you africans don't learn lessons.
Hi there, I have greated a group on face book called "grens oorlog". Kom ons herdenk die manne wat gesterf het. Make some comments and lets see how far away and how many of us have left SA. This needs to be the biggest CLUB GRENS OORLOG.
Tomaluta, very few "Boer" died in Angola compared to the number of enemy they wiped out. Probably a ratio of 30 - 1. agreed it was a waste of South African lives (boer, soutie and good black okes). Look at africa now. propped up with Western charity. You have your freedom, now do something with it.. if you can.
Do know what a proxy war is? You were fighting for the soviets and we were fighting for the yanks.. thats truth.
You make alot more sense than any of these other idiots. They think they won. What a bunch of retards. They don't even look at the facts. We were only preserving our borders.They thought we wanted their crappy country.Keep putting these idiots in their place. Well done
stubones,very few boers died?white troops as you know,travelled in their protective combat vehicles whilst SADF blacks troops faced the reality of the war on foot.the limited white causality figures and coward behavior of big talk whereas you were protected at the expense of black SADF and UNITA lives is non-less then pitiful.you will all suprised when this people voices reaches the air,you never mentioned about them,why?
get your facts straight commie wannabe. It was the UNITA troops only who travelled outside the vehicles. Despite the pathetic proganda you have been exposed to all your life, black soldiers were treated very well in the SADF. I considered then as my brothers and happily lived amongst them. Anyway, its all over now, feel free to continue ruining Africa.
The SADF only lost a total of 1712 soldiers in the Border War. Fact. The Mpla lost roughly about 10000 soldiers alone. This does not even count the losses by The soviet union,cuba,fnla,umkhonto wesiswe,swapo ! Sorry to say,but in terms of numbers the SADF lost nothing in comparison. Read the facts.
What humiliating defeat? you still believe the crap your commie overlords fed you? haha, stupid bushcat clown. 3000 SADF against 50000 enemy and they still kicked ass.. shame you poor silly creatures.
I live in the uk now because of the shit in sa beautiful country but am afraid it is going the same way as zimbabwe,I really don'give a fuck what happens to the majority (we know who they are) they should all fuckin starve and die,all they are capable of is murder rape,stealing from honest south africans that work. I was born in the fifties and wasn't aware of apartheid but have to pay the ultimate price as family of mine was mudered by one of you useles fuckers rot in hell you cunts
@kandiceleroux dont kid yourself...why do all south africans have the same attitude by neglecting responsibilty...you fucken prick!!! if my family was starving,living next to a flooding river i would do anything to make sure my family survived.i would steal and kill if i had to. maybe if the whites who got to africa had of educated and worked with the blacks instead of keeping them down and enslaving them things would be different . but that would never happen.all white africans deny the truth.
@joninyt NORMALLY I LIKE TO ENTER TO SEE THESE FUCKING DEPRESSING VIDEOS TO TRY AND GET TO FIND OUT WHERE THE FUCK MY LIFE HAS GONE...AND THEN I HAVE TO READ THIS KIND OF SHIT FROM SOME CUNT IN IRELAND? LISTEN YOU GREEN MONGREL! AFRIKAANERS WERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR SURVIVAL! THEY BECAME FANATICAL AFTER THE BRITS PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS WERE THOUSANDS DIED! THIS WAS JUST TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THE GOLD WHICH RIGHTLY BELONGED TO THE AFRIKAANERS! READ ABOUT THE 2ND ANGLO-BOER WAR!
@joninyt AND TO THINK THAT BEFORE THE BOER WAR THERE WAS PEACE BETWEEN THE AFRIKAANERS AND THE BLACK TRIBES OF SOUTH AFRICA! YOU THINK THAT WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS ARE BAD PEOPLE? WHAT DO YOU KNOW? CAN YOU THINK OF ANY COUNTRY WHERE A TRANSFORMATION HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHOUT WAR? YOU SHOULD BE LUCKY TO ONE DAY HAVE AN AFRIKAANER AS A FRIEND ...THEY WILL STAND WITH YOU UNTIL THE END! NO MATTER WHAT MAY COME! I'M A PROUD PORTUGUESE MAN WHO THANKS GOD FOR BLESSING MY LIFE WITH AFRIKAANERS AS FRIENDS!
@joninyt AFTER THE BOER WAR MANY AFRIKAANERS WERE LEFT WITHOUT THEIR LAND AND DIED OF HUNGER! THEY BECAME FANATIC BECAUSE OF HUNGER ..HUMILIATION...AND MANY LOST EVERYTHING THEY HAD! EVERYTHING!!!!!! YOU PIECE OF STINKING SHIT!!!!
SOUTH AFRICANS ARE NOT STUPID ! THEY TOOK THE PEACE ROUTE SO AS TO EDUCATE AND DEVELOP SOUTH AFRICA! BUT ITS A SLOW PROCESS! BUT THEY ARE TRYING! BECAUSE UNLIKE YOU ...THEY ARE NOT IGNORANT! WRITING KAK ALL THEY WAY FROM IRELAND!!!!
@joninyt You stupid cunt you were killing each other before we got here and you'll be doing the same after we have all died. Lesson - Africans(black) want to kill FULL STOP. Now piss off and let these legends that beat the SWAPO dogs and your comunist masters so bad they excuted their own generals. People say these soldiers died for nothing, I say they did what was needed and then FW sold it all away. But we saw back then what was to come in africa and atleast we tried, now you got it(shithole)
@joninyt yes steal sure but what about rape and torture and NOT STEAL ANYTHING just KILL 4 fun go get jacked scumbag u donmt know what u talking about THE HIGHEST CRIME RATE IN THE WORLD AND PS THEY BEGGED 2 B GIVEN A CHANCE AND LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH IT .
kakbrown-There you go again, begging for UK to buy some bonehead commie a fuckin farm -you do it without realising it -it has become second nature .Fuck but you are a basic species!You cunts think that the whole world owes you something -you fuckers can't do anything for yourselves .For all time to come your corrupt minds will offend us , and be the single reason for us letting you starve and murder each other .The shit has just started for you -the world is getting a bit sick of African fraud!
tomato -you are a bit slow on the take my china -Lancaster agreement was cancelled because the public outcry at wasting of money on corrupt African nations -Simple !!!!.
And I can guarantee you -No more money for you and yours -The combination of ignorance and dishonesty is what makes us put our cheque books away !!!Kapeesh!!!!????
Silent but deadly they were. dude pls RECCES rule so does the SAS. i'll join em just to be able to say i was a recce and honor them for who they are the very best of south africa!!
I wonder if any1 can help me with this? Im looking r a psychiatrist/s that would be open to help guys who have PTSD from fighting a long fogetten war. Sadly these ppl have had not given the option of talking to sum1 in the know aobut their problems. Many of them r still struggling with issues some 20 yrs after what have happend to them. I would like to be of help to them via the net. Many men would find it easier to talk to a screen than a person to start off. Plz let me know??
Recces were extremely efficient and their training was incredibly arduous...not enough has been written well about their exploits. BTW, many of the photos in this montage are NOT of Recces but are of either 44 Para or Pathfinders taken from old stock shots. There are few real photos of Recces on ops..
Ja you are right, we put them thru some good paces and kicked hard arse and made them Mal so they could (and Did) to the commis bliksems. My Hat off to these ou's even the Porra's that did a great job.
Ive got a blog on the net, can be found if u google 61 Mech. Is called "we will never forget". Would love any factional contributions u guys can make regarding the suidwes border war. Does not matter if u were not in 61Mech as my mum was a radio operator and worked with every1.
Any1 of u remember tannie Pompie..she had the call sign 91 on the radio...and then my dad was Oom Daan or LT D.R. v d Westhuizen. He was a tracker with bushman trackers.
you see movies of the SAS, Navy Seals etc, they had nothing on these guys, Recces were awesome, best fighting unit in the world, but disbanded due to politicians
hulle was ...... was let wel was die beste special forces.nie nou meer nie .jammer hulle is nie meer met ons nie.van hulle sit in iraq.GOD BLES THE OLD RECCES.

Little has been written of Jonny Roxo - a Portugese (white) Mozam, described as the white devil who obliterated units of FRELIMO at a time single handedly. Unfortunately he passed on before becoming a valued SADF "oppie".

Hey man this brought back stuff, (these 3 comments by sirromtrbor- thanks for this, it is better to the video - no bad reflection to the maker of the video, but not as accurate as this report. served to train them in phase 1 north of Jozini 75-77. and also assisted in comms for op's into Moz. We Klapped them and Roxo was cool. Dead eyes though.

Joint Operations was not the CoC until 2 Rec was formed - largely comprised of Hunter Force members at it core - which opened operative recruitment to the civilian corps in the SADF. Interestingly, many "recces" failed parabat training with 1 Paras due to Para resentment, the lack of their own para training and due to severity of 1 Paras physical. As a result 1 Rec started its own para training for operatives - easier it is believed. But on weapons and incursion 1 Rec was superior.
sirromtrebor 2 years ago
Initial "Recce" operative training was based at Oudtshoorn, in the then Cape Province and later moved to the Bluff in Durban, where the acquisition of a defunct Naval base become home for the duration of the border conflicts vs Frelimo and later the FNLA/MPLA insurgents. BJ Vorster was oblivious - according to Breytenbach, the founder of 1 Rec Com and Van den Bergh - of any initial ops in Biafra as early as 68. Intelligence distanced itself from BOSS - police security and was overseen Gen Lootz.

Ok let's see, education, proper housing, chance to get a government job pretty much wherever you wanted, better facilities, plumbing etc. I could go on, while a "black kid" got sub standard schooling where teacher to student ratios were astounding, a black hospital where standards were on par with rest of the third world country.

South Africa followed the west, which is now also crumbling at a fast paste. They should have reached to Russia instead, no lies, no backbiting, no fraud, no greed. Only a big bear friend to protect them in need. Even a little island like Cuba could never been touched by the so called "super powers", they had the true big bear friend. To all the commentators here, the tide is turning fast, frauded wealth or not. South Africa, pick true friends this time and you'l have real peace..

My interesting question to all, what was apartheid South African troops fighting for in Angola and had they achieved either military operational objectives or the grand political strategy? If we are to examine the liberation strategy of SWAPO and the ANC, then the facts will in the end answer the question as to whether SWAPO and the ANC have achieved the objectives of their struggle respectively.
Katyusha75 3 years ago
Katy, let us remind you that Swapo never set up a base or had them in South West Africa, You guys tried during the pullout and during UNTAG,. Swapo never achieved any of their objectives, and all S.A.D.F objectives in Angola were achieved, the only thing that stoped us from going further were the politicians....
steve31bn 3 years ago
i must agree with you in what you said but there another thing why we couldn't go further into angola was the Russian that layed anchor in Luanda harbor. they gave us only a short time to withdraw and if we stayed it could have turned into a massive international conflict so that was the main reason for the withdraw of angola..

get your facts straight commie wannabe. It was the UNITA troops only who travelled outside the vehicles.

Anyway, its all over now, feel free to continue ruining Africa.

The SADF only lost a total of 1712 soldiers in the Border War. Fact. The Mpla lost roughly about 10000 soldiers alone. This does not even count the losses by The soviet union,cuba,fnla,umkhonto wesiswe,swapo ! Sorry to say,but in terms of numbers the SADF lost nothing in comparison. Read the facts.
