      Not enough substance to make a movie. He made a bomb and blue up a ship. Really can't churn 1:20 out of that. Maybe a mini series honoring these great soldiers. Could probably make it 20 minutes and still watchable.

      His story also illustrates the sheer folly of racism. For even if, for the sake of argument, one discounts the rank evil of apartheid, the policy still was a sheer failure: it deprived the South African military of the service of an unflinchingly determined, ingenious, and righteous man, and it defies reason to think that he was somehow the only one. The same argument applies to society in general, and this compelling lesson should be conveyed to posterity.

      @@bsadewitz that's so true. But to add to that of what "could have been", these discarded and oppressed soldiers along with other valiant men suffering under apartheid formed uMkhonto we Sizwe. Looking at their exploits and their reputation till this day, if these men were allowed to serve and be part of their country South Africa would have been a shining example to all countries who were going through the same or similar issues of racism and segregation.

I’ve been fascinated with WWII since my childhood, but while there are incredible stories of valor and sacrifice interwoven throughout said history, there are also stinging reminders of how all of humanity has their own shortcomings.

Ingenious and utilitarian. And most importantly, he had one thing the others didn't demonstrate: the WILL to do something. When a man wants to do something, really wants it -- not just whining and complaining why doesn't he already have it ---then that man can do impossible things.

    A minor point I guess but Maseko and his buddies were unloading the final stores from the ship in Tobruk harbour when he lit the fuse on his IED. When the ship caught fire and sank it was in fact empty so no supplies were lost and the only impact on the Afrika Corps’ logistics was that the wreck had to be cleared before another freighter could use that berth. Nice shots of the US Pacific campaign, I guess to keep us on our toes?

    How foolish our ancestors were to not recognize him for the astound and brave Hero he was. I wish his memory to remain alive and honored as well as taught in schools. I hope as humans we grow out of our petty ways and can give respect where it is due no matter what someone looks like.

    EPIC story of true heroism. And the slower narration, which is a good thing!

    Any man, person, who risks his life for those of his fellow comrades in this magnitude deserves a salute and recognition of valor, no matter what the political establishment deems at the time.

    Brilliant piece. I believe there is also a school named after him in Springs, on the east rand of Johannesburg. I may be mistaken but many of the NMC men also only received a Toolbox and Tools as a pension pay out.
    Another Black South African hero that wasn't recognized is Lukas Majozi please do a piece on him he saved alot of mens lives.
    Both these men and their stories have lived and inspired me since high school. And in general the history of the. NLC/NMC of WW1 and the NMC in WW2
