As someone that comes from Cuba, and having cousins that fought in the 1980´s supporting the Mpla in Angola, plus knowing the destructive caracter of communism, I understand the message and meaning of this song. I just hope that in South Africa the sacrifice and the cause of the brave fighters of the SADF in the 1970´s and 80´s will not be forgotten, and that they are somehow honored like they deserve. I understand that it´s difficult nowadays, but time and history will put everything and everyone in his place. Greetings from Europe!!
I found this website with the translation and I also noticed it was a bit wonky but I still used it because if I used Google Translate it would've been even more wonky

The South African army is now a rabble of pygmies.

The translation is fine. Very very few will actually understand the true meaning of this song.
I was an Aussie soldier involved in the handing over of Sud West to the Commies I regret my countries involvement.
I was in Oshikati and met some of your guys that were Engineers in 1989.
I was there 80 to 81 nobody knows what we feel but would do it again with the same chaps we were 6sai and in 54 battalion in SWA good and bad days
What have we in America done to these unfortunate people who never wronged us?
