So Ben all knowing:In 1962 the SACP`s central committee met at a 'safe house' Lilliesleaf Rivonia , were it was decided that sabotage should be stepped up , men were trained in Algeria,Egypt,Ethiopia and Tanzania.Small scale local training was also embarked on at spiritual camps in remote area`s of Natal and Transkei.
Operation Mayibuye- the plan to overthrow whit-ruled S-A was formulated by the SACP`s central Committee and MK high command in May 63.The plan involved the secret manufacture and procurement in S-A of 210 000 grenades , 48000 anti-personal mines and various other explosives - in all enough to blow up Johannesburg.It did not happen because getting the ingredients together without alerting the authorities , was impossible.Targets included police stations , post offices , African administration offices,the houses of black policemen and administrators,railway installations,pylons,power stations and so on were detailed on a series of 106 maps.The countrywide attacks would be mounted by locally trained recruits,supplemented by 7000 externally trained cadres who would land by sea.
A corner of this impossible dream was revealed when Rhodesians arrested eight Ethiopian trained MK cadres in transit to S-A.This led to the apprehension of other trainees within S-A and a secuirity police swoop on the SACP`s Rivonia HQ in July 63.Ten SACP/ANC leaders were arrested , chargedwith conspiracy to overthrow he S-A goverment by violent means with the aid of foreign intervention and brought to court, at what became known as the Rivonia trials, no terrorism here hey!!!!
Sporadic incidents of insurgency continued during 62-63.This culminated in the proposal to launch the Great revolution in 63.Their targets were the armed forces(lol really lol),the police the commando units the entire population including women and children.They intended to blow up the vaal river barrage to flood white farms downstream,to destroy crops,drown livestock and white people.Prime minister Verwoerd , minister of justice Voster and minister of finance Donges would be assassinated under codename operation Rattlesnake.
If Israel had captured Jurusalem ,the golan Heights and the west bank of the jordan River in wars with the Arabs during the 19th century for instance,instead of the latter half of the 20th,they would have been heirs by right of
conquest.no one would have argued the validity of her keeping it.
Propaganda is a funny thing that has caused many wars.
Don`t forget about all the bombs the ANC let loose,in 88 there were 88 attacks ,136 in 85,230 in 86 and 234 in 87.
Cowards i have seen them all ,big mouths till the bullets fly,my time as a operator was filled with joy.
