Andy McNab [ a pseudonym ] lately of 22 SAS wrote Immediate Action about his experiences. It was a follow up to Bravo Two Zero. Here he gives a view of South African politics at page 220. It is a view from 1995 This was because his Squadron was going out there as a result of orders given by Geoffrey Howe, another of the ghastly Trots who infiltrated Maggie's Cabinet. Subsequent events indicate that the view fed to him, to us by the propagandists was very wrong.
Andy tells us that:-
The chief opposition to the Apartheid regime was the African National Congress. It was crippled by the capture of Nelson Mandela and others in the early 60s. It revived after the Soweto riots in 1976. ANC membership swelled each time the government banned a QUOTE moderate black opposition group UNQUOTE.
In 1980 it began a successful bombing campaign, attacking plant making oil from coal.
In December 1982 SA raided Lesotho, getting 42 dead ANC in Maseru. In May 1983 a car bomb outside the Ministry of Defence killed 19, injuring 200+, including blacks.
In 1984-6 there was rioting with scores of attacks and lots of dead.
June 1985 SA raided Gabarone in Botswana killing 12 QUOTE alleged ANC members UNQUOTE. [ In fact one really was ANC - Editor ] SA QUOTE allege UNQUOTE that Botswana was the origin of landmine blasts killing white farmers. Botswana asked Her Majesty's Government for help. Howe obliged with 80 men of 22 SAS. America laid on some $10 million including helicopters. There was also training.
Sergeant McNab bought the story fed to him about blacks being victims of nasty white man. Lots of people do because they have been fed the propaganda generated by the Jews of South Africa, a thoroughly unpleasant bunch of rogues like Joe Slovo of the South African Communist Party who manipulated blacks using Nelson Mandela as their front man.
