Almost lost?

Basically they got their asses handed to them.

SA ended up under Boer rule until Mandela (a terrorist Black Nationalist, BTW) came along and convinced the retards that he was the second coming of Christ.

The British won in South Africa about a much as we won in Vietnam. Except we won the battles!

The best thing to ever happen to the British army was losing in South Africa. Having territory in Africa is like winning first prize in a shit eating contest.

Why hasn’t another Ian Smith materialized and united the white clans of SA, Rhodesia and Namibia?

Wish I was born in ‘48. Been old enough to go fight in Vietnam and get that sideways slanted gook pussy then go fight in Rhodesia. That would have been the pinnacle of existence.
