Absolutely bullshit, the end. The black guy in the end, was a paid SADF employee, and that corporal would have been court martialled in the real life then.
@@anthonyretief3697 it was indeed. And there is no diminishing it. BUT. Still that kind of thing didn't happen in the SADF. First of all, the black "broom boy" was either a civilian paid SADF employee or, most likely, an enlisted member. Blacks could enlist in SADF. Even if employed in menial work, he would have been disciplined for being so disheveled. Likewise, the corporal would have been disciplined for behaving that way.
@@LETHABOKg-ne9yg The black guy is an employee, a paid one. The corporal would receive severe punishments for that kind of behaviour. Black people in the SADF were common, and even more common amongst the Koevoet and the 32 Battalion in which black people was an extremely common sight. Think for a second, why would they teach to hate black people when they had black people in the army? That would be an absolute disaster. It is a simple google search, just search up either "Koevoet soldiers" or "32 Battalion" in google images and I bet you will find black SADF soldiers.
I wonder what would have happened if someone would have reacted with "Jawohl, Herr Unteroffizier" since as far as I know the Germans from South West were also conscripted.
Nothing 😂 it's mostly the English that had it hard, most Afrikaans schools Pre 94 offered german in the curriculum and most Boers today still speak Deutsch or Nederhols
hello my husband is Zulu and his uncle served during the Angolan Bush war my husband served from 2005-15 and we live in the USA. My husband’s uncle said he didn’t get the racism some would display on films and documentaries he passed away in 2015 and had his ashes taken to Eswatini. I’m Japanese and i love visiting South Africa
It was based on the British treatment of Boers (Afrikaners) in the Boer Wars, with them locking Boers up (around 100,000 in total) in concentration camps, which led to 18,000 to 28,000 deaths, and there was a longtime resentment as a result. Nowadays, there's really no issue between the two, typically, older Afrikaners and English may dislike one another, but the younger crowd does just fine with each other.
I was in SAAF in 2001, and even though the racism wasn't so blatant as this movie portrays, if you were anything but an afrikaans boertjie, you were treated differently! Stry and argue all you want, the treatment was different. Either held back for promotions, or given medial tasks within your squad etc. Nowadays, its just reversed on the colour spectrum, no better, actually bit worse in certain disciplines.
Was funny until the K part came up, not right then not right now... Pity we learn this the hard way now as we now pay for the sins of those who were messed up racist like that.
