Kameraad Mhambi

The plot thickens. Chris Hani and Joe Jelle were opposed to NUSAS & Thabo Mbeki’s policy of strategic participation. Back in South Africa, Gavin and his new unit consisting of Richard Goode, and Janet Cherry had to communicate the ANC position that military service was not acceptable.

This was against the established position of NUSAS and caused a lot of trouble. They were also encouraged to send others out on recommendation to Zimbabwe, and Brett Myrdal was one of them.

Gavin also talks about some close calls.
