NUMBERED COPY "LETABA COMMANDOS 1889 - 1989" BY LOUIS CHANGUION, 1989, FIRST EDITION, HARDCOVER, 192 PAGES, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO NAMES, INSCRIPTIONS ETC.
The Letaba Commando was originally established at Tzaneen in 1889 as the Lowveld's first commando, the Onderveld Commando, and its members took part in the Second Anglo-Boer War which had started in 1899. The commando formed part of the UDF's "Skietkommandos" and were not directly involved in the defence of the country until 1961, when the terrorist threat started and escalated, particularly on the north-eastern border of the Transvaal, from the early 1980s. During the SADF-period, it was formally established in 1969 and organised under the Group 13 HQ as part of the Far North Cmnd and was responsible for local area protection of an area of some 330 000 hectares. The area was surrounded by the Kruger National Park, the Soutpansberg Military Area, as well as parts of Lebowa and Gazankulu. It was disbanded with the remainder of the commandos after President Mbeki announced the disbanding of the commando system on 14 February 2003.
