«South Africa: Marching (Back) to Pretoria». Time (på engelsk). 13. februar 1984. ISSN0040-781X. Besøkt 13. oktober 2018. «Starting immediately, Botha announced in Cape Town at the opening of the session of Parliament, South Africa was disengaging its forces from Angola. The statement was itself a good sign; in the past, South Africa has always denied that it even had a military presence in Angola. Botha went on to say that he hoped the gesture would lead to an end of the bush war that has raged and sputtered for 17 years between South African troops and guerrillas of the South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), which is recognized by the United Nations as the official representative of Namibia. Botha's decision was made more dramatic by the fact that his government had just completed what it called a victorious five-week invasion of Angola in pursuit of SWAPO forces. But the costs of the military campaign, as well as of South Africa's continued occupation of Namibia in defiance of the U.N., had simply become too high, he explained.»
