South Africa's Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapise-Nqakula was deeply unimpressed. These were not ‘ex-soldiers,' but simply ‘mercenaries,' she said.
Can someone explain to me what this Defence Minister is trying to say, that former SADF soldiers are not ex-soldiers?
They were highly rated by many of it's foes that took part in interfering in Angola.
Can someone give me some facts here, Executive Outcomes, were they the first such type of organisation set up?
Since then, other groups have appeared from what I can tell, while E.O. was forced to close.
I recall watching a documentary on CBC about a decade ago, an expert on the topic of hired soldiers said the best came from SA due to the bush war. SA was also the number one supplier of number of hired soldiers.
It is a shame the ANC works around ideology vs practicality, we know where that concept comes from.
Make us proud, South Africans in Nigeria, hammer B.H.
