The Elite SA Police Anti-terrorist squad waged a tough, dangerous anti-insurgence war against Russuian trained/sponsored ANC fighters (Fight for Freedome against Apartheid in the 80's) who would come out of Angola training camps and invade The north and north west borders of South africa. The Elite squad called Koevoet (Crowbar) would chase the insurgents back across the border, often getting killed in the process.
The front man in the chase had the most dangerous job as tracker. Of course he had to be Black.
One such man, Sisingi Komongo lasted for several years as a tracker and lived to tell his amazing story. Brian
This is a great adventure story written is simple terms. Brian
