SADF border war movie: At Thy Call
Movie made by Chris Dos Santos as a post graduate student project. Was screened at the Cannes film festival and won a few international awards . I think this is quite an achievement for a student film of this scale being produced with a limited budget. It has not been publicly screened in South Africa. Personally in my 2 year SADF experience we did not encounter racial incidents like portrayed in this movie but I can imagine things like this happened in isolated cases. Political talk was forbidden in our unit. We also had much operational inter action with black members of the SADF and no segregation was present. Furthermore we did not experience the antagonism between Afrikaans and English speaking troops as portrayed here, but I realize it did happen in some units. After 2 years service people from different languages, religion and cultures were the best of buddies ever in our unit. The use of language is very similar with what we were confronted in 1978, swearing was absolutely ridiculously bad. There are some technical mistakes in the movie but in general in my opinion the movie reflects quite a realistic atmosphere of the times back in 70's and 80's Here the awards: Won Best film, Best cinematography, best writer at Coal Stove awards 2009, Official selection Durban Int. Film Festival, Official Selection AFI film Festival Los Angeles, Official Selection Cape Winelands Film Festival, Best film at off the shelf film festival 2010.

SADF 1980's
South Africa is a vast country with extended borders and a long coastline that made great demands of the SADF. This meant that the SADF had to operate in an area and not along a front. This required special attention to logistics, strategic and tactical mobility, the need for blanket cover, decentralization of excecution and a night-fighting capability. Operational doctrine is the meeting ground between the broad imperatives of stratergy and the steady maxims of tactics, where if there is a "native genius" it will express itself. Intellectuals in South African military uniform-their numbers are not small-are today world leaders in the development of operational doctrine. Proceeding from assumptions that the SADF would face a numerically superior force, an unfavorable air situation, and unwillingness of the superpowers to tolerate a long-term conventional war lest they be drawn into it, the officers offer up a paean to the "dynamic element of warefare," namely, maneuver. The South African Army, they aver, can win on any battlefield in southern Africa only "if it can move faster & fight more effectively" than its enemies. The topography, the infrastructure, the obstacles, and the distances of southern Africa provide the requisite operational space for maneuver warfare. Rare footage of the SADF out on maneuvers in the bush. Although not one of the biggest military forces of the time our 'Combat Power' was regarded as the best in Africa and was ranked amongst the top ten <b>...</b>

South African Army pics of SADF and some RECCES (Special Forces)
A look into the SADF and RECCES (Special Forces). RECCES are seperate from the SANDF as they report directly to a higher chain of command. A time when South Africa had it's hands tied and had to create their own defense/Offensive. Hardware and the Men that helped end the Cold War for the World. Although the government messed up men and women's lives, a purpose was completed in the end. The halt of Communism in Southern Africa or at least South Africa. Feel free to comment, as always be nice or be deleted! I have no time for the overly nasty. If you have a suggestion or correction no problem at all, post it for us :) The Video is dedicated to Terry the lion. PLEASE NOTE: The comment on ending the Cold War is not stating that the RSA ended it by means of winning (although we did put Cuba in a corner) but instead drew closure on the final COLD WAR conflict. The same can be said for Cuba, remember they also signed off to end the last conflict. There were other nations who together brought about the end just remember that. As for the "Pre-1994" statement all that is doing is giving you an idea of which era most of the video is about, it's by no means a specific point in time. Thanks Guys.

SADF Operation Packer (1988) Part 1
Operation Packer was a military operation by the South African Defence Force (SADF) during the South African Border War and Angolan Civil War. This operation forms part of what became known as the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. Although officially following on from Operation Hooper, Operation Packer was in reality concurrent with it most of the time, as its objective was to drive the combined FAPLA/Cuban force back across the Cuito River to the west bank. This task was successfully achieved by the South African forces' GV5 and GV6 howitzers, who forced the FAPLA/Cuban units to the west of the Cuito River from their positions east of Cuito Cuanavale on the Chambinga Heights. www.geocities.ws
