Probably a Cuban propaganda officer cooked the whole thing up and wrote some phrase that would look vaguely Afrikaans to the average Cuban/Angolan/Soviet etc. The incident also bears a striking similarity to one from the Cuban Revolution in which a militia member fatatally wounded wrote "Viva Fidel" on a wall in his blood. This incident is very well known in Cuba and much propagandised. In short the whole thing has a distinct Cuban flavour to it and nothing suggests it was anything to do with the SADF.

Haha I can't believe that silly story about the writing on the wall at Caleque is still circulating! It is rather an interesting and funny one actually.

The Cubans produced a fuzzy photo of an inscription on a wall at Caleque claimed to have been written by SADF troops. The story went that it read "MIG23 broke our hearts" in Afrikaans.

The problem with the story is that the inscription was actually claimed to read "MIK23 sak van die kart", literally "MIK23 bag from the cart", a nonsense sentence that doesn't look anything like "MiG23 broke our heart" which would be "MIG23 het ons hart gebreek".

The amrican world book encyclopedia states the following:"South african troops suffered heavy looses on february and were decisively defeated by cuban troops at cuito cuanavale,old south african mirages were outmanuevered by newer cuban migs".Now,how can you say South africa won the war you little SADF sentimentalist?

Thanks for accepting my invitation....!

I wanted to truly thank all those who fought so bravely and honourably for the SADF and South Africa in her time of need. You all answered your calls like men and took on the responsibilty of men thanklessly even when no one back home realized we were at war. I would as a citizen of the ,now, rotting and torn South Africa like to respectfuly show my gratitude for holding back the barbarians at the gates, it was the leaders that failed not you. Thank you, manne

gegroet mijn vriend

Greetings from a fellow sapper. I was in a survey squadron based in Pretoria back along time a ago.They were the good old days. Love your videos,kind of lost touch after I left for the US of A. The smell of the kakibos takes me back. We remain brothers in arms. Take care

No need for you to be emotional about this, you cannot change history. Rather, if you want to debate with me, get your facts right.
1. Political change in South Africa started through a referendum. After all, I don't find any sources to say Fidel Castro won a nobel price like De Klerk and Mandela did. I have seen some of the crap on cubavision portraying a different truth though. As for all the other stuff: i dont CARE (even if it is true) if Cuba won at the games - I am not consumed with hate. Get a life!
2. As for Cuito - "If defeat for South Africa meant the loss of 31 men, three tanks, five armoured vehicles and three aircraft, then we'd lost. If victory for FAPLA and the Cubans meant the loss of 4600 men, 94 tanks, 100 armoured vehicles, 9 aircraft and other Soviet equipment valued at more than a billion rand, then they'd won.", Colonel Dean Ferreira, CDR SADF in Angola; Paratus (SADF Magazine), March, 1989, p.14.
