That is my late paternal grandmother, she always told us this story when we visited her, how they heard the noise on that fateful night and how the man came asking for help!
@@eutuben9937 She just told us that they heard a huge noise and they initially thought it was lightning and in approximately 15 to 20 mins they've heard dogs barking and a knock on the door, when they opened a man covered in blood told them that he is coming from a plane that crashed, they needed help and there was Mashele there. When my grandmother and some of the neighbors went at the crash site they already found that there were soldiers who cordoned off the place, and they chased them away.
One of my hero presidents in Africa - Samora Machel, dead but never forgotten. 19th October is always a day I pause to remember this great son of the soil, along side 17th Jan 1961 (Patrice Emery Lumumba) and 15th October 1987 (Thomas Sankara - four days before a complete year after Machel's tragic end). These sons of Africa shall always be forever etched in my heart and mind.
THAT WAS THE REASON THEY TOOK HIM AWAY. SHAME TO AFRICAN LEADERS THAT WIL ALLOWED THEIR OWN TO BE REMOVED LIKE THIS ON HIS OWN SOIL. MAY CHUWKUOKIKE REMOVE THE EVIL ELDERS, POLITICIANS, SABOS, BETRAYALS, ETC OF AFRICAN ORIGIN WORKING AGAINST FELLOW AFRICANS.
Our beloved Ambassador uncle Sikumba was among in that plane crash.... none last forever... today was my first time to have courage to watch the investigation.... Hans Louw you are a brave man... even though i have bitter vibes..... years have gone by, yet still hurting....
I was in Maputo when the president died , before the investigation I briefed an airline director about the workings of VOR system, it was a very sad time and there was a gut feeling that the South African regime had a hand in the murder of the great son of Africa.
Any African leade who want to do good things for African people and continent is always killed, the white south Africans are also Anglo American who are controling African economy.. the sad part is that in our government are many working for white peoples benefits CIA traitors..
I loved samola so very much,he was a very close friend to my late grand father Mr Afirika Banda who was the headman of Kaimbwa village in the border between Zambia and Mozambique.My grand father was one of the closest to the late president...two weeks before his death he came secretly to meet my grandfather so that he informed him of the meet in Zambia (1986).After samola died,a week later soldiers invaded my grandfathers village but their operations was unsuccessful.After a month when samola died,my grandfather also past on and this time the soldiers from South Africa and Mozambique (Frelimo) successful managed to invade into my grandfathers village.When they took over the village they asked for my grandfather and they were told that he past on a week ago.The soldiers request to see the grave where he was barried and they were shown.They resumed the body and burnt my grandfathers' body to ashes.The villagers were killed and some managed to escape to Zambia and are currently living in Chimusitu village under Chief Kawaza in the present day Zambia.I am his grand son currently living in Zambia-Kitwe.
Sorry Brother we lost many good souls and to see the condition the our motherland is ,it pains my heart and it troubles my soul and our country it heading to war again
Long Live and Rest in Power Comrade Machel. The truth will come to light and the cold- blooded murderers will not go unpunished. One Love 💘. One Africa. Africa's Resources for Africa's Development. Africa for Africans worldwide.
@@hendrickswart4122 Just out of curiosity and for truth, why did you take a different stand to almost all the comments I had read? Was late Machel such a terrible leader both on the national and international stage or what? Thanks for shedding light on this and hope to hear from you soonest.
@@olumichaels419i believe he is irretated by the comrade speech. Some black people when talking in military speech do it because they are refering to the struggle others because they want to create a soviet regime, which pisses lots of whites off. The Russians oppressed their own people the slavs under soviet doctrine excuses and controlled Germans until the 90s also killed many Finnish and Hungarians. So to lots of white SAs communist ideals are no better than apartheid, to them that speech/ideals takes away from freedom of ideas and speech.
All the countries whose presidents were assassinated have never regained their power and economic liberation. The Apartheid regime definitely had our hero murdered, and they so sick, they had Mandela divorce Winnie and marry his widow 😢 Praying the truth is finally revealed and justice meted out for the deceased.
But it's said that the Apartheid regime released the fake Mandela and they didn't want Winnie to discover that secret. That's why they separated him from his wife (Winnie) And Winnie always said that It's not his his husband that came out of prison🙄🙄. Or he was mentally changed
Mandela divorced Winnie because she murdered a small boy, called Stompie. And she slept with every man she could get into bed. Did the apartheid government made here into a whore?
@@tonyalice8833mandela and winnie were seperated for 27y that changes your marriage. Look at soldiers who when on duty far away their wives cheat and divorce just one example. Mandela loved women, lots of nguni men was still used to the idea of marying more than one wive. I believe Mandela married her because he needed a warrior in his corner, he knew it was bigger than himself but about black people and he wouldve trusted Machele as she was apart of the struggle. He was old by then only logical reason is marriage of alliance.
Why do u hate Samora Machel? He was a good man who set free the Mozambican people against the portuguese exploitation in their own home land. Samora Machel is alive inside of each of Mozambican.
He was at war with a superior enemy. But the reliable reports were that the Russian pilots were drunk and if they were not they would have been able to avoid any alleged changes to Beacons.
It really proves Samora didn't die accidentally,but assassinated by the South African security forces. He might be assassinated but his fighting spirit didn't die
Boolshyte! I was part of the investigating team. Many countries joined in and did their own thorough investigation. It turned out to be a sad sequence of events that caused the aircraft to basically fly into mountainous terrain (Lebombo Mountain range) close to Swaziland. All transmissions were recorded in the BB and CR. Every second of the flight can be monitored. All countries came to the same conclusion: Human error. South Africa had nothing to do with it.
@@chiyenyumba7135 In fact, the post-mortem report stated: "no traces of a brain, only cotton wool". You can find the full report in the records of The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The cotton wool is surprising because Samora's actions indicated that it was only a cavity
So glad to see how friends for other African countries know and recognized Samora Machel as a greater leader. Unfortunately his government had too many problems because of socialism. Mozambique were socialism but helped more than capitalist countries. Samora legacy never die. Viva Samora
It is so scary that a life of a human being in on another human being's hands, someone just have to make a command.this is an every day life,we just choose not to talk about it.
@ Brandon Marks, Samora is not your ancestor. Unless you are his son or grandson or something, calling him your ancestor is absurd. 🤦 ....Modern day Africans can't be your ancestors, that is just stupid

I was a US government human factors investigator who was sent undercover to participate in the inquiry. The pilots were in and out of various cloud layers apparently. Furthermore, the captain suggested that the airport lights had been shut off by rebel action. Sadly the captain knew they were low on fuel, so he pressed on with this wrong assumption in the apparent hope he would soon see the unlighted runways.
@@alandiehl202 Thanks Alan. So what was your personal conclusion in the end. And why didn't the pilot attempt to land in Harare, Zimbabwe if he was low on fuel?
To be fair to Pik Botha I actualy don't think he probebly knew - but might have guessed. In those days the apartheid system had systems inside systems. The preseance of an Ex-Rhodesian selous scout makes me suspicious ... because Zipra took down Rhodesian flight 825 .... and he probebly wanted to be involved (revenge). The FRELIMO involvement sounds like a huge dark conspiracy ... and I have no doubt if there was opportunity the SADF would have taken full advantage. It was a war ... the FRELIMO government was involved providing support to the ANC and ZANU/PF. If you play with fire ... you might get burned. But it would be good to get the truth, so history and the families can know exactly what happened.
Communism sucks. Communism is impunity. TPLF, Kabila, Kagame, Museveni, M23, and ZANU-PF are its remnants, and Bobi Wine is one of its victims. Tshisekedi is the real Lumumbist, and Hichilema liberated Zambia. Democratic leaders should be celebrated, not dictators.
Pik Botha was supposed to be in a plane crash himself, the Lockerbie flight, but the CIA warned him not to step on the plane and he pulled out at the last second and when asked why he done this he said "The information i received and the people i received it from meant i couldn't turn it down lightly". In other words whoever told him and Pik Botha himself knew for certain that the Lockerbie flight was going to be bombed but chose to say nothing and let other people get on and die. Why would they do that......Who blew it up! It can only come from the Americans themselves, if you have that much detail about an event before it happens i can only assume that they had some connection to the bombing itself. Ive heard it was to do with drug smuggling and that there were CIA agents killed on the plane who were coming back to America to report to the world that there superiors were involved in smuggling heroin through Frankfurt airport from Lebanon and therefore they were killed by switching a drug bag with a bag with a bomb at Frankfurt airport so that they would all be killed and couldn't reveal the smuggling operation they had discovered.
The death of a human being is very sad,no matter who he was.But I am just asking myself what happened to the grouo of people who Samorah threw in Milanji bushes just because they did not take part in politics.
Aboard the Lockerbie flight were U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Special Agents Daniel Emmett O'Connor and Ronald Albert Lariviere. Matthew Gannon, the Central Intelligence Agency's deputy station chief in Beirut, Lebanon. . So the Americans would warn Pik Botha but not their own people - ridiculous !
Mozambique could been a different country with him at the helm of national leadership but like tragic situations experienced, Mozambique and Africa were robbed of this charismatic leader and he will be remembered fondly by future African generations.
Nao tenho palavras perfeitamente mais adequadas para falar deste lider filho do povo e se eu fosse DEUS IRIA LHE RETORNAR A VIDA PARA SERVIR O SEU POVO , CONTUDO, PAZ A SUA ALMA
He didn't grab her, she was installed in his life to be a spy to make sure he tows the line. Many women married to men of power are spies. I'm sure she played a part in Samoras assassination as well.
@@robbylebotha No, she reportedly played a role in the assassination of Samora's first wife. Samora died when he attempted to enter South Africa illegally because he couldn't get a Wenela contract as a mineworker.
Please no conspiracy here he married her 10 years after this incident. If you ask me it was the Portuguese and Chissano involved as he reversed all Machels policy as soon as he got into power.
Commission of Inquiry. That is all it takes. And if the UN was a useful organization, they would already be conducting such a commission. But Alas...they do what the master says.
one traditional Christmas Choir from Garogwe ward in Digawana, Southern District, Botswana, sang a song that went like this in 1987: "Peter Botha wa seganana (Peter Botha the outlaw) Yo o bolaileng Rre Machel (the one who killed Mr Machel) A mo thuntsha godimo ga sefofane (he shot him from the plane) A mo tseela dipampiri tsa mmuso" (and stole his government documents) something like that..years ago..
Simple answer. Listen to the cockpit voice recording. There were frequent blackouts in Maputo in those days, so the Russian navigator called the pretoguese speaking operator at the airport and they had the following Laurel and Hardy exchange: Russian "Is the lights on?' Preto "Nao, dee lights she's ane". Russian again "Is the lights on?" Preto "Nao the lights she's ane". Pilots who flew into Maputo at night would tell you it was easy to mistake the lights of Matola and a dam building site further south west, for Maputo. They flew in that direction, made a right turn as they would normally do to land at Maputo airport. Unfortunately for them, the land beyond the dam is higher than Maputo airport, and they were already flying below the height prescribed for a landing at Maputo. When the ground proximity alarm sounded, the pilot instructed the navigator to turn it of, and continued to dived the beer stock they had on board. The pilots never had the opportunity to drink the beer, but the navigator survive to go on to scrounge for vodka money in Moscow.
"The wheels to prepare to land was already out", says Hans Louw, who adds: "The pilots thought they were landing in Mozambique." The Accident Factual Report signed unanimously by the investigators from South Africa, Mozambique and the USSR clearly states that the aircraft's landing gear had not been lowered. Besides, the aircraft was not in landing configuration ‐ it was flying at cruising speed (411 km/hour when it crashed). The Captain's final words as retrieved from the Cockpit Voice Recorder: "There is nowhere to go". How could Mr Hans Louw say that the pilots thought they were landing in Mozambique ? In fact, the pilots could not see any runway lights.
Maybe the 1st team told him this those who were diverting the plane. He was part of the backup with sam missiles, be wouldnt have been with the 1st team. He aslo said they checked on the site maybe while they were doing that the first team lied? Maybe they said this to make it sound more like a mistake on pilot part instead of an assassination. Remember the war was still on in back then, it only ended in 89' when Nam got independence.
@@JohnTerblanche-l1r At the time of the plane crash, Hans Louw was undergoing military training some 2,000 km from the scene of the accident. That is, in Namibia. When Mr Hans Louw began making his spurious claims to the SOWETAN SUNDAY WORLD newspaper on 12, 19 and 26 January 2003 (before the SABC report which was broadcast 5 years later), he was serving a jail sentence for murder. Clearly, Louw was looking for a sentence reduction for "confessing" his role in the "assassination" of President Samora Machel. You should study the Accident Report with the help of qualified pilots and air traffic controllers. For our information: the Mozambique Board of Inquiry concurred with the findings of the South African Board of Inquiry, including the causes of the accident. To this date, the Mozambique Government has failed to disclose to the Mozambican people the full contents of the Board of Inquiry Report. I would recommend that you ask the Mozambique High Commission in Pretoria to explain.
Leader Samora was in Stanger/KwaDukuza circa 1962 as a bakery van delivery assistant with late Abdul Hajee Suleman. I remember him as a jovial character and well liked in the town.
You are assuming; because, of how the word is normally used that assassination is bullets to the head or body. But here, allow me to help you out. An assassination is the premeditated act of killing someone suddenly or secretively, especially a prominent person.
This bloke died during an ongoing war he was trying to stop, he was always gonna be at risk. Manela come out if prison in 1990 having been away from Winnie for years, how do you build such a relationship? Obviously he married Machel in a power move to get someone on his side who knows something or two more than Winnie aswell as someone he could trust. Mandela was chosen because he is original anc leader and a 'moderate black' during a time when lots of black people wanted revenge. Look at where Zimbabwe is now with their revenge Mugabe ran his country into the ground. Lots of people idolize Samora just because he died a martyr but he in is own country had a war too, he couldve easily been a torturer and evil person. Donr idolize your hereos without knowing them personally.
Samora Machel was a very much loved Pan-Africanist. I remember how much sorrow his death evoked in the then Frontline States. His famous slogans where "Aluta Continua, abash imperialism".
Navigation error, the crew were tracking the VOR beacon at Matsapa not Maputo, the Maputo beacon transmits on 117.7 MHZ while Matsapa is 117.3....even more similarly when these numbers are written in Cyrilliac script, as in the Russain aircraft. An easy error for a the tired and fatigued crew to make. If you follow the trajectory from the aircraft heading and crash site it tracks directly towards the Matsapa airport beacon, which is what they were tracking on 117.3 mhz. The false beacon theory is bullsh1t, a VOR beacon is a massive structure that requires calibration and complex electrical powering, it is not something you can put on the back of a truck and lure an aircraft with....
@@bennickclayton6468 The Polish Pm plane, curiously the same aircraft type as the Samora Machel crash, crashed because the crew descended below legal safe minima in bad weather, as far as I know. If you have any links or info suggesting a credible false beacon theory for the Polish PM crash, I will be fascinated to read it.
@@andrewflitton4721thats what happened here too. Aparantly this beacon shuts of the planes electronics leading to crash. Hans Louw couldve lied when he said the wheels were out to make it look like pilot error.
@@hendrickswart4122 You know many of you were rejects in Holland brought to Africa to help the masters now you feel like better humans here... You should really go back to where you come from, you are a European not an Afrikaner, stop claiming what's not yours
Hans Louw is not black, but is part of a people that is called coloreds. This is not discriminately but the coloreds is a race originated from the Koisan people and the Dutch men that established a halfway station in South Africa.
Colored is referred to malaysian slaves descents. Khoi san with their click language like Nama is black africans look at their frizzy hair. During apartheid lots of blacks helped whites.
SA is an independent country under a black rule. First SA President married the widow of Machel. Why did not Mrs Machel request Mandela as head of SA and at some point chair of SAdc. This matter was never raise. Could it be that there was a trade off between Apartheid regime relinquishing power, death of Chris Hani death of Machel release of Mandela in 1990 and independence of SA.
The Accident Factual Report - compiled and signed unanimously by investigators from RSA, Mozambique and USSR - is clear : the landing gear was retracted; the aircraft was not in landing configuration, flying at cruising speed (411 km/h when it crashed), the last words from the Captain retrieved from the Cockpit Voice Recorder : "There is nowhere to go". Hans Louw is an impostor, the SABC journalist was not qualified to discuss an aircraft accident.

In other words whoever told him and Pik Botha himself knew for certain that the Lockerbie flight was going to be bombed but chose to say nothing and let other people get on and die.
Why would they do that......Who blew it up! It can only come from the Americans themselves, if you have that much detail about an event before it happens i can only assume that they had some connection to the bombing itself. Ive heard it was to do with drug smuggling and that there were CIA agents killed on the plane who were coming back to America to report to the world that there superiors were involved in smuggling heroin through Frankfurt airport from Lebanon and therefore they were killed by switching a drug bag with a bag with a bomb at Frankfurt airport so that they would all be killed and couldn't reveal the smuggling operation they had discovered.
The death of a human being is very sad,no matter who he was.But I am just asking myself what happened to the grouo of people who Samorah threw in Milanji bushes just because they did not take part in politics.
Maybe he was mad for not being paid.
Not drugs, arms to Ethiopia
Aboard the Lockerbie flight were U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Special Agents Daniel Emmett O'Connor and Ronald Albert Lariviere. Matthew Gannon, the Central Intelligence Agency's deputy station chief in Beirut, Lebanon. . So the Americans would warn Pik Botha but not their own people - ridiculous !
Pretoria's fingerprints were all over this one.
Just like they were involved in Steve's Biko's death.
And the c.i.a
Samora Machelle died while being the pesident of the poorest country in the world. A true African hero!
Sadc leaders at that time also need to be questioned. Zambia& Zimbabwe!
Saudades de presidente que nunca conheci!
Mozambique could been a different country with him at the helm of national leadership but like tragic situations experienced, Mozambique and Africa were robbed of this charismatic leader and he will be remembered fondly by future African generations.
no one is saying there is a airforce airbase just about 50km away from the crash side
There is also a naval base 300 km away ..what is the point ?
I felt sick just watching 5minutes of this story
You received the call.? You really know that
Mobutu was the traitor in that meeting.
Yeah sese seko was a sellout
Am from Kenya but samora machel so popular here , viva aluta continua
And continue resting in peace comrade
All this injustices left unserved, once part ANC government in RSA defending all this injustices to remain unserved
Garbage why blame everthing on ANC dumb ass and RSA this happened ages before ANC came to power
God help us to recover in Africa.
i believe hans louw, these guys killed samora machel
How come a professional pilot was so naive? Stories will be made to avoid the real truth.
Pilots are trained to rely on their instruments. Plotters take advantage of training.
Because of the conflict and being unhappy
Exactly he was flying in completely the opposite heading.
A few years ago, a big airliner crashed in Cameroon. No one is accusing that poor black pilot of a conspiracy.
Salute to Mpikeleni Duma for alwayd delving deeper into this story and unearthing some of these dark operations.
I still remember while I was doing my primary education singing
Mupanduki Ndi botha kuuraya vasamora
Re Hans Louw: There's a legal principle that the evidence of certain types of caracters must be treated with caution. Murderers is such a category.
Much as he died, he still remain african hero
@ogwang morrish, "We Don't Need Another Hero" - Tina Turner
Hero? a poes ja
Mr Machel is a good man who fight for their land against Portugueses
seneless statement
Samora Michel was very much loved and revered here in Botswana 🇧🇼 ❤ a true African Hero
Nao tenho palavras perfeitamente mais adequadas para falar deste lider filho do povo e se eu fosse DEUS IRIA LHE RETORNAR A VIDA PARA SERVIR O SEU POVO , CONTUDO, PAZ A SUA ALMA
And Nelson Mandela immediately grabbed Machel's wife. Sad
He didn't grab her, she was installed in his life to be a spy to make sure he tows the line. Many women married to men of power are spies. I'm sure she played a part in Samoras assassination as well.
@@robbylebotha No, she reportedly played a role in the assassination of Samora's first wife. Samora died when he attempted to enter South Africa illegally because he couldn't get a Wenela contract as a mineworker.
@@wimkotze7744 well she is still an asset/spy. I just don't know who owns her.
There's something fishy around this Mandela and Graca saga
Please no conspiracy here he married her 10 years after this incident. If you ask me it was the Portuguese and Chissano involved as he reversed all Machels policy as soon as he got into power.
Descanca em paz senhor presidente Samora Machel we will always remember you 🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿
Definitely, Samora Machel was assassinated.
Nathaniel Deckard spot on ! Pik Botha did it!!
You are correct Nathaniel ...The Russian Pilot did
Commission of Inquiry.
That is all it takes. And if the UN was a useful organization, they would already be conducting such a commission.
But Alas...they do what the master says.
Hard to do anything with no evidence. People who do this arent stupid.
one traditional Christmas Choir from Garogwe ward in Digawana, Southern District, Botswana, sang a song that went like this in 1987:
"Peter Botha wa seganana (Peter Botha the outlaw)
Yo o bolaileng Rre Machel (the one who killed Mr Machel)
A mo thuntsha godimo ga sefofane (he shot him from the plane)
A mo tseela dipampiri tsa mmuso" (and stole his government documents)
something like that..years ago..
This song had been translated what is this there's no better translation than this one
Zambia 🇿🇲 will never forget General Somola Michael rest well
who did what. the pilots did not see lights see the brights lights of maputo or the airport.
Simple answer. Listen to the cockpit voice recording. There were frequent blackouts in Maputo in those days, so the Russian navigator called the pretoguese speaking operator at the airport and they had the following Laurel and Hardy exchange: Russian "Is the lights on?' Preto "Nao, dee lights she's ane". Russian again "Is the lights on?" Preto "Nao the lights she's ane".
Pilots who flew into Maputo at night would tell you it was easy to mistake the lights of Matola and a dam building site further south west, for Maputo. They flew in that direction, made a right turn as they would normally do to land at Maputo airport. Unfortunately for them, the land beyond the dam is higher than Maputo airport, and they were already flying below the height prescribed for a landing at Maputo. When the ground proximity alarm sounded, the pilot instructed the navigator to turn it of, and continued to dived the beer stock they had on board. The pilots never had the opportunity to drink the beer, but the navigator survive to go on to scrounge for vodka money in Moscow.
"The wheels to prepare to land was already out", says Hans Louw, who adds: "The pilots thought they were landing in Mozambique."
The Accident Factual Report signed unanimously by the investigators from South Africa, Mozambique and the USSR clearly states that the aircraft's landing gear had not been lowered. Besides, the aircraft was not in landing configuration ‐ it was flying at cruising speed (411 km/hour when it crashed).
The Captain's final words as retrieved from the Cockpit Voice Recorder: "There is nowhere to go".
How could Mr Hans Louw say that the pilots thought they were landing in Mozambique ? In fact, the pilots could not see any runway lights.
Maybe the 1st team told him this those who were diverting the plane. He was part of the backup with sam missiles, be wouldnt have been with the 1st team.
He aslo said they checked on the site maybe while they were doing that the first team lied?
Maybe they said this to make it sound more like a mistake on pilot part instead of an assassination.
Remember the war was still on in back then, it only ended in 89' when Nam got independence.
@@JohnTerblanche-l1r At the time of the plane crash, Hans Louw was undergoing military training some 2,000 km from the scene of the accident. That is, in Namibia. When Mr Hans Louw began making his spurious claims to the SOWETAN SUNDAY WORLD newspaper on 12, 19 and 26 January 2003 (before the SABC report which was broadcast 5 years later), he was serving a jail sentence for murder. Clearly, Louw was looking for a sentence reduction for "confessing" his role in the "assassination" of President Samora Machel. You should study the Accident Report with the help of qualified pilots and air traffic controllers. For our information: the Mozambique Board of Inquiry concurred with the findings of the South African Board of Inquiry, including the causes of the accident. To this date, the Mozambique Government has failed to disclose to the Mozambican people the full contents of the Board of Inquiry Report. I would recommend that you ask the Mozambique High Commission in Pretoria to explain.
Leader Samora was in Stanger/KwaDukuza circa 1962 as a bakery van delivery assistant with late Abdul Hajee Suleman. I remember him as a jovial character and well liked in the town.
They killed him. South African Apartheid evil regime is responsible but make no mistake THEY were not ALONE .
Eliman Gibba the French and America led the way
AND DO THINGS TO TRY TO CONFIRM THOSE ALLEGATIONS.
How can you be assassinated by a conspiracy?
You are assuming; because, of how the word is normally used that assassination is bullets to the head or body. But here, allow me to help you out. An assassination is the premeditated act of killing someone suddenly or secretively, especially a prominent person.
Why Mandela rushed to marry the widow,they all knew what happened
I also wonder ..
😂
This bloke died during an ongoing war he was trying to stop, he was always gonna be at risk. Manela come out if prison in 1990 having been away from Winnie for years, how do you build such a relationship? Obviously he married Machel in a power move to get someone on his side who knows something or two more than Winnie aswell as someone he could trust. Mandela was chosen because he is original anc leader and a 'moderate black' during a time when lots of black people wanted revenge. Look at where Zimbabwe is now with their revenge Mugabe ran his country into the ground. Lots of people idolize Samora just because he died a martyr but he in is own country had a war too, he couldve easily been a torturer and evil person. Donr idolize your hereos without knowing them personally.
@@JohnTerblanche-l1r mxm why writing a book
That’s Africa for you. A murderer gets out of prison, 17 years early because he tells a fairytale of what the government wanted to hear.
Very Sad,Very Sad: Our Lord Jesus Knows the Truth.
We used to sing this song .. zorororai Baba Machel.. zorororai murugare RIP Machel
It is a tribute to war heroes ❤🇿🇼
Samora Machel was a very much loved Pan-Africanist. I remember how much sorrow his death evoked in the then Frontline States. His famous slogans where "Aluta Continua, abash imperialism".
National Party was really cruel towards Africans
Navigation error, the crew were tracking the VOR beacon at Matsapa not Maputo, the Maputo beacon transmits on 117.7 MHZ while Matsapa is 117.3....even more similarly when these numbers are written in Cyrilliac script, as in the Russain aircraft. An easy error for a the tired and fatigued crew to make.
If you follow the trajectory from the aircraft heading and crash site it tracks directly towards the Matsapa airport beacon, which is what they were tracking on 117.3 mhz.
The false beacon theory is bullsh1t, a VOR beacon is a massive structure that requires calibration and complex electrical powering, it is not something you can put on the back of a truck and lure an aircraft with....
Well said BRO !!!!!
rubbish, the same thing happened to the polish leader after he chastised putin for annexing Georgia
@@bennickclayton6468 The Polish Pm plane, curiously the same aircraft type as the Samora Machel crash, crashed because the crew descended below legal safe minima in bad weather, as far as I know. If you have any links or info suggesting a credible false beacon theory for the Polish PM crash, I will be fascinated to read it.
@@andrewflitton4721thats what happened here too. Aparantly this beacon shuts of the planes electronics leading to crash. Hans Louw couldve lied when he said the wheels were out to make it look like pilot error.
Now the question is why Mandela married the wife of this guy?
That's politics for you
Because Winnie slept with his friends? And Mandela really loved the ladies. Go check it out. He had many affairs.
That woman was a spy

I miss Samora Machel. Such a freedom fighter is a rare breed to the African continent these days.
Hans Louw is not black, but is part of a people that is called coloreds. This is not discriminately but the coloreds is a race originated from the Koisan people and the Dutch men that established a halfway station in South Africa.
Colored is referred to malaysian slaves descents. Khoi san with their click language like Nama is black africans look at their frizzy hair. During apartheid lots of blacks helped whites.
Bet Mandela knew.
And he took his wife
Mandela was in prison by then.
Why can't you think he was protecting her from being killef to have you ever thought about it?
@@eugenianhatave8288 Are you aware that Mandela didn't serve 27yrs as they say?
@@serveupss2096 18 years in prison and 9 a house arrest all in all 27 years in prison
True that was a sellout
What is funny is after the guy was dead Mandela married the wife
And Mandela was a huge friend of the apartheid government
SA is an independent country under a black rule. First SA President married the widow of Machel. Why did not Mrs Machel request Mandela as head of SA and at some point chair of SAdc. This matter was never raise. Could it be that there was a trade off between Apartheid regime relinquishing power, death of Chris Hani death of Machel release of Mandela in 1990 and independence of SA.
If the plane crashed at night and was some distance from him how could he see that its landing gear was down?
If he can murder, he can lie.
Night vision
The Accident Factual Report - compiled and signed unanimously by investigators from RSA, Mozambique and USSR - is clear : the landing gear was retracted; the aircraft was not in landing configuration, flying at cruising speed (411 km/h when it crashed), the last words from the Captain retrieved from the Cockpit Voice Recorder : "There is nowhere to go".
Hans Louw is an impostor, the SABC journalist was not qualified to discuss an aircraft accident.
The RSA Board of Inquiry Report, with input from Mozambique and USSR, is available on the South African Civil Aviation website at www.caa.co.za
you weren't meant to pick that up🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pik Botha is one big assassin my father was in military(god bless is sold) and he always spoke abt the things Botha did…..
