Bush of Ghosts - Life and War in Namibia 1986-1990
Bush of Ghosts - Life and War in Namibia 1986-1990 - Sabotage of farm telephone lines by PLAN combatants, or was it SADF Special Forces? It was never clear... but someone did not want a telephone call made to Oshakati. According to locals, attacks by p l a n combatants on SADF bases at Okatope, Okongo, Onesi and Okalongo had resulted in increased patrols by the SADF. These were snapshots taken in the bush, relying heavily on the prejudice of soldiers. I often stopped my car when I saw soldiers on patrol. Some words in Afrikaans usually did the trick, reassuring the men that the pictures were for private use and not for some newspaper. I often came out with my well-rehearsed excuse that the pictures were for my parents to see. As long as they did not get on the radio and speak to Alpha 1 at Oshakati, all would usually be well
