Koevoet, consisting of 90% black Namibians, was a police counterinsurgency unit. The unit dominated their enemy for 10 years during the Namibian Bushwar. They were slandered by their communist enemies and by liberals in the west. The fact remains, they were highly mobile, with huge fire power and their tactics were directed by arguabily the best trackers in the world. The teams nearly always got their man. Sisingi "Shorty" Kamango, now wheelchair bound due to wounds from the war, was one of those trackers. These are some of the never seen before images, some to be published in his book "Shadows in the sand- a Koevoet tracker's story" . The book is now available at bookstores and online book sites.

Filmed in 1989. The little girl at the start of the clip was shot in the head with an arrow by a member of the South African Defence Force (under the old apartheid regime) for singing freedom songs. There is an example of the types of songs she was singing shortly into the clip. The troops taking our information were from the notorious Koevoet. They were known for brutality and indiscriminate use of deadly force. The last couple of minutes are a war ravaged village in Southern Angola.

Namibia / the Republic of Namibia / Republiek van Namibië / Republik Namibia is a country in Southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana and Zimbabwe to the east, and South Africa to the south and east. It gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990 following the Namibian War of Independence. Its capital and largest city is Windhoek (German: Windhuk). Namibia is a member state of the United Nations (UN), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), the Commonwealth of Nations and many other international organisations. It has been given many names: "the land of contrasts," "the land God made in anger," "the ageless land."[citation needed] For many years it was known only as South West Africa, but it adopted the name Namibia, after the Namib Desert. It is the second least densely populated country in the world, after Mongolia. The dry lands of Namibia were inhabited since early times by Bushmen, Damara, Namaqua, and since about the 14th century AD, by immigrating Bantu who came with the Bantu expansion. It was visited by the British and Dutch missionaries during the late 18th century. It was also visited by Dorsland trekkers (also known as Junker Boers) in 1879,but became a German Imperial protectorate in 1884. In 1920, the League of Nations mandated the country to South Africa, which imposed their laws and from 1948, their apartheid policy. In 1966 ...

Newer version: www.youtube.com The Internal Struggle Namibia 1987/88 During the 1980's the battle for the hearts of the Namibian people was being fought. The PLAN combatants were waging war with their Angolan, Cuban and Russian allies, but this was taking place outside the borders of the country. Inside the country, the battle was in the form of protest and civil disobedience. The internal struggle included famous Namibians such as Hendrik Witbooi, Danny Tjongarero, Niko Bessinger, Anton Lubowski, John Pandeni and Ben Ulenga. They were harassed, beaten and arrested continuously by the South African regime. However, the regime felt it was winning. They had created ethnic authorities and many of these leaders had convinced the people of the need for managed democracy versus the communist take-over by SWAPO. All that changed when the students started participating in the struggle. In 1987 the police were unable to control and prevent the students from running through Katutura and Khomasdal, with some of the marchers reaching the central business district. By mid 1988, the South African regime and their puppet government was losing control. Over 75 000 school students were boycotting schools throughout the country in protest at the South African army and police repressions. The boycotts began at the Ponhofi Secondary School in Ovamboland. Laws such as the Protection of Fundamental Rights Act (No. 16 of 88) were being used to prevent the gathering of any kind. This specific ...

This is my first video , you can see South-African POW and South-African tanks, vehicles and aircrafts destroyed or captured . This video is to all the Angolan people and Cuban soldiers and the white racist South-Afican soldiers that can see because this Battle was a Communist Victory and this photos proved my words (your propaganda is very funny !!!) , and so all the Border War , infact the invasion of Angola was stopped, Namibia became an indipendent state , and the Aparthaid in South-Africa ended.
