Eheke - pain yes! but we remember our heroes

Today, October 27th, 1977 the South African recces (reconnosaince) and 32 Bn fought one of the most grueling battles in African history againts communist oppression.

We remember all those who fought bravely despite the losses we had. No air support or artillery against as much as 700 of the enemy - Swapo and Cubans - who had been well dug in and armed with heavy artillery and rockets.

Read an eyewitness account and also a shortened Afrikaans version.
