The KwaZulu-Natal Archives Oral History Unit was established in 2012 and is the first fully-fledged Oral History unit that was set up in South Africa to preserve the province's oral legacy. Its collections include “workers history, family history, women history, indigenous knowledge system (IKS), heritage and culture, amakhosi (chiefs and traditional leaders), struggle veterans, domestic workers, sports, uMkhonto Wesizwa Veterans Association (MKVA) and Azanian People’s Liberation Army (APLA), religion and culture, family trees, artists (performing and non-performing) including musicians, writers, visual artists and poets”. The preservation of oral history records is important because it safeguards information that often stems from an individual’s personal memory relating to their observation of, or actual participation in, past events. Oral history enhances the understanding of the past for both present and future generations.

Hi Noel and Peter, enjoyed hearing your recollections. Best regards, Richard Henry ( Mil Museum) now living in Sweden
Mkhohliseni ngempela lobaba
Seeing the tears of a hardened soldier, especially 32's recce unit, makes me a mere soldier of the old SADF feel like such a woos. These guys did the dirty work no one else dared to attempt. In a way, I owe my existence to to guys like this, They fought the battles we never knew about at the time. I know it is a cliché, but the words Brothers in Arms best describes these unique individuals that made such a big difference in so many lives outside their own circle of brotherhood. I thank you sir's, today I have a family thanks to your efforts.
Mafunze awumncinyane! Baba uHadebe ngicela ningiphe inamba kaMkhulu uGordon, ngidinga usizo ngomlando wakwa Ngcobo.

Bunch of neo nazi's fighting oppressed people Neo nazi's from racist 1970s s.a. white government people were fighting for their freedom, their independence. NO NEED TO THINK FURTHER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. STILL GOING ON TODAY!!.
Still going on today?! South Africa still has a Neo nazi racist govt?!
I'd bet there are many people very disappointed that the guy who got the sambok was white. Now they have nothing to virtue signal and be outraged about.

Many thanks for the story from inside 32. It will always be remembered. SAAF 07/01/1974 - 31/01/2013.
Had to stop listening to this guff after the first 3 mins! What a load of toss, a brutal communist regime one minute after he spoke about how patriotic the women were??? What??? They certainly weren’t pining for the good old serf peasant days under the brutal boot of the Tzar and his mates?? The Soviet Union were at war again? Don’t forget, the US, Europe and Japan had been into Russia earlier (1919-1922), when they invaded the country, for the White (Tzarists) Russians. The place was full of 5th columnists (for the Tzar), Martial law was in place! Have no doubt, the bravery of the Soviet forces were for their homeland, comrade Lenin and Comrade Stalin!
yes a typical american history bs about people they never bothered to know understand just crap and us brainwashed shit spewing out. Sure there was assholes in the Red Army as well as any of them. but downed pilots were not executed like he say and al that Stalin crap smearing . He was sure the right man for that time and look at Putin now and Lavrov smart balanced intelligent leaders that can walk to a podium without help and deliver 3 hour speeches without lies and retarded dumb shit. Read Russian veterans stories about the war instead of some halfassed wannabe truthtellers.
I knew something was wrong when he said Stalin killed 4800 Polish Officers in Katyn, when in fact over 20,000 were murdered. Just a lot of old USSR propaganda.
Did any of you know (know of) "Spikkels" Terreblanche. He was ex 32 and was my Sgt. at School of Armor and 61 Mech in 85/6
