Constable B Cele: South African Ww2 Veteran (union Defence Force)
I share this story to honour Constable Bekinkosi Cele’s loyalty. He trusted me, and we had a strong bond. He once told me he had served as a stretcher bearer “up north,” and that during the fall of Tobruk, the Germans never captured him—he escaped through the hlatini (bush, in isiZulu), hid, and later rejoined the British Army.
