THE WAR THAT SHAPED THE FACE OF SOUTHERN AFRICA A decorated career soldier who simultaneously pursued academic aspirations, Lt Col (Prof) J. L. Wikus Jansen van Rensburg is today Associate Professor in the Faculty of Military Science at Stellenbosch University. His first decade in the South African Defence Force was consumed by the pivotal second half of the Border War/Armed Liberation Struggle for Namibia that irrevocably changed the lives of all involved while shaping the regions geo-political evolution. Aiming to establish a broad orientation of what was viewed from radically polarised perspectives; this book is a balanced, diarised representation of that conflict, from its origins in the pre-German era up to and including Namibias independence. The comprehensive scope of the authors research is evinced by the over 1 000 references to reputable sources representing both sides of the struggle. These long-awaited annals of a defining period in Southern Africa are a most valuable addition to the lexicon of military history.  PAPERBACK, 311 PAGES with photos. First Published: 2014

Here we have on auction a REPRODUCTION new build Cuban Elm-leaf (Cuban) camo "kiko" camo cap (sewn from old stocks of Recce copy camo obtained with great effort and only available in small quantities). This kiko cap is one-size-fits-all and will easily fit someone with a hat size 57/58/59. The "kiko" camo cap was a favourite of the Portuguese and Insurgent (and other Freedom Fighters/ groups in the old Porra colonies of Angola and Mozambique) and was often encontered/ found during the SWA/ Angola bushwar period. These REPRO camo kiko caps are intended to be a comfortable everyday wear item, fold one up and keep handy in a side cargo pocket for "just-in-case"!  The single pic below shows other REPRO kikos available (on other simultanious BoB auctions) and serves as a comparison showing some of the bushwar popular camo patterns employed by the enemy (and copied by SA Special Forces/ Recces and other units eg. 32 Bn recce wing); Top -to-bottom - Libyan Rhubarb, FAPLA (Cuban) grey lizzard, East German (DDR) rice pattern/ falling rain, French llizzard (camo favoured by UNITA), Cuban (SF) elm leaf camo; Basically a handy, comfortable lekke camo cap! (I wear one almost daily and often wear it with the tail folded away until needed).
