THE WHITE COMPOUND AT OSHAKATI

Schoolchildren, mostly children of the PF families in Ondangwa arriving at the primary school in Oshakati in armoured school busses.

School children at play with the school bomb-shelter visible in the background.

Residential area in Oshakati.

This is a scene from the residential area of Ondangwa. Note the machine gun tower in the background, and, if you are interested, donkeys in the foreground.

`R-kids': SADF vehicles had registration numbers beginning with the letter `R'. This was developed so that in my circles at least the children of PF members were called `R-Kids'. This is one, posing inside a Ringhals armoured ambulance, wearing my medics beret and holding my R5 rifle. The magazine IS empty and the safety is `on'. This picture was used as the cover for the paperback book of my 1987 Border Duty `Grensvegter?' of which this is part of the on-line version.

Sadly underexposed `R-kid'.
