THE PIVOT OF AN EMPIRE - Walter Volker

The transfer of Russian military hardware and personnel to Angola in 1987–1989 stands as the last great act of Soviet global power projection. It was a masterful but ultimately futile attempt to manage the decline of the Soviet empire through the selective redirection of its remaining strength.

Die Loodsing van die SA Spoorwegpolisie Erfenisdag op 6 Desember 2025, gehou by Fort Schanskop in die Pro- Patria Museum by die Voortrekker Monument, het ’n historiese mylpaal vir die voormalige SA Spoorwegpolisie verteenwoordig. Vir die eerste keer is die volledige SA Spoorwegpolisie se nalatenskap, diens en opofferings amptelik opgeneem in die ruimte waar die gewapende dienste van Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis bewaar en vereer word. Hierdie prestasie was die resultaat van toegewyde onderhandelinge deur Fanie Booysen, saam met die SA Weermag Veterane liggaam, Generaal-Majoor Lawrence Smit, Louis Buys en Johann van Graan, wat uiteindelik gelei het tot die toekenning van ’n permanente uitstalspasie vir die SA Spoorwegpolisie.

SAP History / Geskiedenis

Ladies In Blue

Ladies in Blue is a growing group of retired and active women from the South African Police Service (SAPS). It was formed in 2024 to make sure that women who gave many years of service to the police and their communities do not feel forgotten after retirement. Many members served for over forty years, showing courage, discipline, leadership, and compassion. The group promotes sisterhood, unity, and professionalism. It creates a safe space where former and serving policewomen can meet, build friendships, share experiences, and support one another emotionally and socially. Through networking and mentorship, they continue to inspire and uplift each other. Ladies in Blue also remains committed to community service. Members use their knowledge and experience to give guidance on legal matters, domestic violence, abuse, and other law-related issues. Their goal is to empower especially women, helping them regain confidence, dignity, and strength. They believe in protection, advocacy, and community outreach. Their mission is guided by the words agnoscere et honorare servientibus (to acknowledge and honour those who served) and Soli Deo Gloria (To God Alone be the Glory). Even in retirement, these women continue their legacy of service, honour, and public safety, proving that their commitment to making a difference never ends.
