Lohatla

9 SANDF soldiers were killed in a training exercise in Lohatla this week. They were part of a 35mm Oerlikon Gun battery. I was a gun commander of a 35mm gun crew in Rundu in 1987. In those days there were also many accidents. The story in that the only "hit" anti aircraft has in many years was a SAAF chopper that was shot down by SADF anti aircraft at Oshakati. I dont know if anybody knows the detail of this story. .. Anyway I feel sorry for those soldiers at Lohatla.
