Pretoria, Mar 15 (Prensa Latina) South African Minister of Culture
Pallo Jordan thanked the Cuban people for its outstanding
participation in the crucial victory of Cuito Cuanavale, in Angola,
which led to the defeat of the Apartheid regime.

Jordan opened the ceremonies to mark the 20th anniversary of the
historic battle that ended on March 23, 1988.

Celebrations included a motorcade named Through the Path of History,
from Liberty Park, Pretoria, to Cuito Cuanavale.

On their way to Cuito Cuanavale, members of the caravan, including
youngsters, students and former fighters, are also expected to visit
several places linked to the struggle against apartheid in Botswana
and Namibia.

South African Sports Minister Makhenzie Stofile highlighted the
figure of Fidel Castro, who was able to see that it was essential to
stop invading troops of the South African regime in Cuito Cuanavale.

Cuban Ambassador Esther Armenteros highlighted the deep pride felt by
the Cuban people for having contributed to the independence of the
African brothers under the principles of internationalism.
