Special Report Transcript Episode 6, Section 7, Time 31:37

Few other actions of the South African Defence Force caused as much bitterness in Namibia as the attack on Cassinga on May 4, 1978. Last week, the Minister of Defence, Joe Modise, apologised to the Namibian government and people because a group of soldiers commemorated the raid in Cassinga with a parade. The Namibians and Angolans insist the Cassinga attack was purely a massacre of civilians. The former Defence Force officers maintain it was a SWAPO command centre. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
