Bushmen Warriors
The Bushman soldiers were the most outstanding all-round fighters of the Border War. The border's oldest and most bush-wise people, they became feared as relentless trackers and dedicated soldiers. As the first of the indigenous population to take up arms on South Africa's behalf, they were among the last to lay them down.
Their use of automatic weapons and mortars, coupled with their phenomenal tracking abilities, made them a formidable fighting force. Coming from a primitive hunter/gatherer culture, they responded well to a crash course in modern warfare. During Operation Savannah they were deployed in a conventional role as Battle-Group Alpha, part of Task Force Zulu, and advanced approximately 2,000 kilometers in a month.
Afterwards, some of the Bushmen were trained as parachutists and served as Recces behind enemy lines. Others were attached to various units as trackers and guides.
