By August 1974 the Portuguese had all but abandoned Angola, its
erstwhile colony, and there was a fear in both the Intelligence
services of South Africa and America that the country was likely to
fall the hands of the MPLA, generally regarded as a Soviet
surrogate. It was that fear that triggered the training by South
Africa of guerrilla groups opposed to MPLA. One group of FNLA
guerrillas trained by Recce Colonel Jan Breytenbach, later known as
Bravo Group, was re-infiltrated back into Angola as part of South
Africa ’s Task Force Zulu. It was this unit which would later form
the genesis of South Africa ’s elite and much feared 32-Battalion.
32-Battalion became the backbone of all SADF operations launched
across the Namibian border into a hostile Angola.
