I was in Joburg last weekend with my 11 year old son, who has been 
watching Israel's massacres with disgust, and wanted me to take him to 
the main SA military museum, an opulent set of buildings stashed with 
memorabilia going back to the 18th century, for the sake of context. 
Based in the centre of Houghton, one of SA's richest suburbs, this 
museum is a hilarious blast from the apartheid past, with only a tiny 
section on the ANC's military wing (MK). More importantly I searched far 
and wide for any reference to Cuito Cuanavale. Not finding any hint 
whatsoever in the exhibition halls, I asked the man at the bookshop. 
"Yes we had a book about it here once. I don't think we stock it anymore."

Enough said about who won!
