★South African Hero and Military Legend!★ General Magnus Malan Interview (1/27/2007)

In this ground breaking piece of history, South African military legend, General Magnus Malan, joined TRP on January 27th, 2007, for his ONLY radio interview! General Malan (1930-2011) was not widely known to the general public outside of South Africa, but, he is considered one of the great military geniuses of the 20th century. His victory over the combined Cuban imperialist colonialist hegemonist outlaw lackeys and ideological running dogs of the Moscow war mongers in Angola is considered by many to be up there with Douglas MacArthur's landing at Inchon or for that matter Hannibal's victory at Cannae

For just as during the Anglo Boer wars in the 19th century, when the Boervolk stunned the world with their great victories over the British Empire... Here you had the SADF and General Malan up against the greatest modern empire, the Soviet Entity, and the illegal communist minority ruled Angolan government. His mission was to protect South African interests in Namibia including their vital water supply. They allied with UNITA (The National Union for Total Independence of Angola) and their founder "the George Washington of Africa" Dr. Jonas Savimbi ...against the Soviet, East German, and Cuban backed MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola). Together the SADF and UNITA won every battle that they fought including their amazing victory while greatly outnumbered at the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale in 1987! These actions by the SADF were a large contributor to the eventual fall of the U.S.S.R. a few years later.

As Frank so aptly points out. This proved the often conveniently forgotten point that the Boers fought side by side with blacks to help them attempt to win their liberation. This was despite the onslaught of Soviet propaganda that was gobbled up by the crypto Bolsheviki in the United States that portrayed the Boers as evil white racists trying to keep blacks subjugated.

Sadly... they won all the wars against foreign Communists but eventually lost at the ballot box to the Communist ANC!

General Malan was author of, My Life with the SA Defence Force (2006). His Huguenot ancestors arrived in South Africa from Europe in 1688 as they fled persecution for their Christian Protestant faith. He is a 10th generation South African. The book covers the military challenges South Africa faced during the cold war including the aforementioned Communist established foothold in Angola. He served in the SADF for 31 years from 1950 to 1981. He rose to the rank of Chief of the South Africa Defense Force and after was the Minister of the Defense Force for 11 years.

In the end the great general expressed hope for his country and showed great appreciation to President Ronald Reagan for taking the lead in defeating international Communism. This historical gem of an interview dispels many of the common myths from that era and the truth from that time is finally given a voice never to be forgotten!
