That is my late paternal grandmother, she always told us this story when we visited her, how they heard the noise on that fateful night and how the man came asking for help!
@@eutuben9937 She just told us that they heard a huge noise and they initially thought it was lightning and in approximately 15 to 20 mins they've heard dogs barking and a knock on the door, when they opened a man covered in blood told them that he is coming from a plane that crashed, they needed help and there was Mashele there. When my grandmother and some of the neighbors went at the crash site they already found that there were soldiers who cordoned off the place, and they chased them away.
To be fair to Pik Botha I actualy don't think he probebly knew - but might have guessed. In those days the apartheid system had systems inside systems. The preseance of an Ex-Rhodesian selous scout makes me suspicious ... because Zipra took down Rhodesian flight 825 .... and he probebly wanted to be involved (revenge). The FRELIMO involvement sounds like a huge dark conspiracy ... and I have no doubt if there was opportunity the SADF would have taken full advantage. It was a war ... the FRELIMO government was involved providing support to the ANC and ZANU/PF. If you play with fire ... you might get burned. But it would be good to get the truth, so history and the families can know exactly what happened.
Communism sucks. Communism is impunity. TPLF, Kabila, Kagame, Museveni, M23, and ZANU-PF are its remnants, and Bobi Wine is one of its victims. Tshisekedi is the real Lumumbist, and Hichilema liberated Zambia. Democratic leaders should be celebrated, not dictators.
All the countries whose presidents were assassinated have never regained their power and economic liberation. The Apartheid regime definitely had our hero murdered, and they so sick, they had Mandela divorce Winnie and marry his widow 😢 Praying the truth is finally revealed and justice meted out for the deceased.
But it's said that the Apartheid regime released the fake Mandela and they didn't want Winnie to discover that secret. That's why they separated him from his wife (Winnie) And Winnie always said that It's not his his husband that came out of prison🙄🙄. Or he was mentally changed
Mandela divorced Winnie because she murdered a small boy, called Stompie. And she slept with every man she could get into bed. Did the apartheid government made here into a whore?
THAT WAS THE REASON THEY TOOK HIM AWAY. SHAME TO AFRICAN LEADERS THAT WIL ALLOWED THEIR OWN TO BE REMOVED LIKE THIS ON HIS OWN SOIL. MAY CHUWKUOKIKE REMOVE THE EVIL ELDERS, POLITICIANS, SABOS, BETRAYALS, ETC OF AFRICAN ORIGIN WORKING AGAINST FELLOW AFRICANS.
One of my hero presidents in Africa - Samora Machel, dead but never forgotten. 19th October is always a day I pause to remember this great son of the soil, along side 17th Jan 1961 (Patrice Emery Lumumba) and 15th October 1987 (Thomas Sankara - four days before a complete year after Machel's tragic end). These sons of Africa shall always be forever etched in my heart and mind.
Commission of Inquiry. That is all it takes. And if the UN was a useful organization, they would already be conducting such a commission. But Alas...they do what the master says.
Hans Louw is not black, but is part of a people that is called coloreds. This is not discriminately but the coloreds is a race originated from the Koisan people and the Dutch men that established a halfway station in South Africa.
I was in Maputo when the president died , before the investigation I briefed an airline director about the workings of VOR system, it was a very sad time and there was a gut feeling that the South African regime had a hand in the murder of the great son of Africa.
Any African leade who want to do good things for African people and continent is always killed, the white south Africans are also Anglo American who are controling African economy.. the sad part is that in our government are many working for white peoples benefits CIA traitors..
He didn't grab her, she was installed in his life to be a spy to make sure he tows the line. Many women married to men of power are spies. I'm sure she played a part in Samoras assassination as well.
@@robbylebotha No, she reportedly played a role in the assassination of Samora's first wife. Samora died when he attempted to enter South Africa illegally because he couldn't get a Wenela contract as a mineworker.
Please no conspiracy here he married her 10 years after this incident. If you ask me it was the Portuguese and Chissano involved as he reversed all Machels policy as soon as he got into power.
It is so scary that a life of a human being in on another human being's hands, someone just have to make a command.this is an every day life,we just choose not to talk about it.
South Africans soldiers killed Samora Machel that I'm 100% sure I'm saying it bcoi South Africa is the only country who used to help RENAMO fighting with FRELIMO
SA is an independent country under a black rule. First SA President married the widow of Machel. Why did not Mrs Machel request Mandela as head of SA and at some point chair of SAdc. This matter was never raise. Could it be that there was a trade off between Apartheid regime relinquishing power, death of Chris Hani death of Machel release of Mandela in 1990 and independence of SA.
Long Live and Rest in Power Comrade Machel. The truth will come to light and the cold- blooded murderers will not go unpunished. One Love 💘. One Africa. Africa's Resources for Africa's Development. Africa for Africans worldwide.
@@chiyenyumba7135 In fact, the post-mortem report stated: "no traces of a brain, only cotton wool". You can find the full report in the records of The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The cotton wool is surprising because Samora's actions indicated that it was only a cavity
Simple answer. Listen to the cockpit voice recording. There were frequent blackouts in Maputo in those days, so the Russian navigator called the pretoguese speaking operator at the airport and they had the following Laurel and Hardy exchange: Russian "Is the lights on?' Preto "Nao, dee lights she's ane". Russian again "Is the lights on?" Preto "Nao the lights she's ane". Pilots who flew into Maputo at night would tell you it was easy to mistake the lights of Matola and a dam building site further south west, for Maputo. They flew in that direction, made a right turn as they would normally do to land at Maputo airport. Unfortunately for them, the land beyond the dam is higher than Maputo airport, and they were already flying below the height prescribed for a landing at Maputo. When the ground proximity alarm sounded, the pilot instructed the navigator to turn it of, and continued to dived the beer stock they had on board. The pilots never had the opportunity to drink the beer, but the navigator survive to go on to scrounge for vodka money in Moscow.
Nao tenho palavras perfeitamente mais adequadas para falar deste lider filho do povo e se eu fosse DEUS IRIA LHE RETORNAR A VIDA PARA SERVIR O SEU POVO , CONTUDO, PAZ A SUA ALMA
Why do u hate Samora Machel? He was a good man who set free the Mozambican people against the portuguese exploitation in their own home land. Samora Machel is alive inside of each of Mozambican.
He was at war with a superior enemy. But the reliable reports were that the Russian pilots were drunk and if they were not they would have been able to avoid any alleged changes to Beacons.
@ Brandon Marks, Samora is not your ancestor. Unless you are his son or grandson or something, calling him your ancestor is absurd. 🤦 ....Modern day Africans can't be your ancestors, that is just stupid
@@hendrickswart4122 Just out of curiosity and for truth, why did you take a different stand to almost all the comments I had read? Was late Machel such a terrible leader both on the national and international stage or what? Thanks for shedding light on this and hope to hear from you soonest.
one traditional Christmas Choir from Garogwe ward in Digawana, Southern District, Botswana, sang a song that went like this in 1987: "Peter Botha wa seganana (Peter Botha the outlaw) Yo o bolaileng Rre Machel (the one who killed Mr Machel) A mo thuntsha godimo ga sefofane (he shot him from the plane) A mo tseela dipampiri tsa mmuso" (and stole his government documents) something like that..years ago..
Our beloved Ambassador uncle Sikumba was among in that plane crash.... none last forever... today was my first time to have courage to watch the investigation.... Hans Louw you are a brave man... even though i have bitter vibes..... years have gone by, yet still hurting....
pik Botha was a racist animal, you can denied your racist killing and participation in the killing of our freedom fighter but we know very well the South African minority racist government involvement in the killing of Samora Machel
It really proves Samora didn't die accidentally,but assassinated by the South African security forces. He might be assassinated but his fighting spirit didn't die
Boolshyte! I was part of the investigating team. Many countries joined in and did their own thorough investigation. It turned out to be a sad sequence of events that caused the aircraft to basically fly into mountainous terrain (Lebombo Mountain range) close to Swaziland. All transmissions were recorded in the BB and CR. Every second of the flight can be monitored. All countries came to the same conclusion: Human error. South Africa had nothing to do with it.
I loved samola so very much,he was a very close friend to my late grand father Mr Afirika Banda who was the headman of Kaimbwa village in the border between Zambia and Mozambique.My grand father was one of the closest to the late president...two weeks before his death he came secretly to meet my grandfather so that he informed him of the meet in Zambia (1986).After samola died,a week later soldiers invaded my grandfathers village but their operations was unsuccessful.After a month when samola died,my grandfather also past on and this time the soldiers from South Africa and Mozambique (Frelimo) successful managed to invade into my grandfathers village.When they took over the village they asked for my grandfather and they were told that he past on a week ago.The soldiers request to see the grave where he was barried and they were shown.They resumed the body and burnt my grandfathers' body to ashes.The villagers were killed and some managed to escape to Zambia and are currently living in Chimusitu village under Chief Kawaza in the present day Zambia.I am his grand son currently living in Zambia-Kitwe.
Sorry Brother we lost many good souls and to see the condition the our motherland is ,it pains my heart and it troubles my soul and our country it heading to war again
With this documentary, and what I now know about Evil, murderous, oppressive, extremely racist Apartheid South Africa Government of that time. I confidently say I know what may have happened to African Hero, Samora Michel Aluta Continua!!!
Was this government as murderous as Idi Amin, 30,000 deaths? Mengistu Haile-Mariam, Etiopia, 1.5 million deaths? Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria, 1.1 million deaths? General Sani Abacha, Nigeria, 200,000 deaths? Ahmed Sékou Touré, Guinea, 150,000 deaths? Charles Taylor, Liberia, 150,000 deaths? Hissène Habré, Libya, 100,000 deaths? Witch doctor Francisco Macías Nguema, Guinea, 90,000 deaths? Omar al-Bashir, Sudan, 50,000 deaths? General Paul Biya, Cameroon, 40,000 deaths?
Navigation error, the crew were tracking the VOR beacon at Matsapa not Maputo, the Maputo beacon transmits on 117.7 MHZ while Matsapa is 117.3....even more similarly when these numbers are written in Cyrilliac script, as in the Russain aircraft. An easy error for a the tired and fatigued crew to make. If you follow the trajectory from the aircraft heading and crash site it tracks directly towards the Matsapa airport beacon, which is what they were tracking on 117.3 mhz. The false beacon theory is bullsh1t, a VOR beacon is a massive structure that requires calibration and complex electrical powering, it is not something you can put on the back of a truck and lure an aircraft with....
@@bennickclayton6468 The Polish Pm plane, curiously the same aircraft type as the Samora Machel crash, crashed because the crew descended below legal safe minima in bad weather, as far as I know. If you have any links or info suggesting a credible false beacon theory for the Polish PM crash, I will be fascinated to read it.
Thanks to you, my dear Lord JESUS CHRIST, almighty Lord of the JUSTICE, for to have brought eternally in Hell the hated and criminal Samora Machel,real demon, leader from the Black racist African terrorism in Mocambique. (In name of all those Portuguese young men,soldiers,than the Black tribal racists of Mocambique killed and let theirs parents and friends crying forever!...Thank You, South Africa. The People of Portugal eternally thankfull !!!!)

I was a US government human factors investigator who was sent undercover to participate in the inquiry. The pilots were in and out of various cloud layers apparently. Furthermore, the captain suggested that the airport lights had been shut off by rebel action. Sadly the captain knew they were low on fuel, so he pressed on with this wrong assumption in the apparent hope he would soon see the unlighted runways.
@@alandiehl202 Thanks Alan. So what was your personal conclusion in the end. And why didn't the pilot attempt to land in Harare, Zimbabwe if he was low on fuel?
Pik Botha was supposed to be in a plane crash himself, the Lockerbie flight, but the CIA warned him not to step on the plane and he pulled out at the last second and when asked why he done this he said "The information i received and the people i received it from meant i couldn't turn it down lightly". In other words whoever told him and Pik Botha himself knew for certain that the Lockerbie flight was going to be bombed but chose to say nothing and let other people get on and die. Why would they do that......Who blew it up! It can only come from the Americans themselves, if you have that much detail about an event before it happens i can only assume that they had some connection to the bombing itself. Ive heard it was to do with drug smuggling and that there were CIA agents killed on the plane who were coming back to America to report to the world that there superiors were involved in smuggling heroin through Frankfurt airport from Lebanon and therefore they were killed by switching a drug bag with a bag with a bomb at Frankfurt airport so that they would all be killed and couldn't reveal the smuggling operation they had discovered.
The death of a human being is very sad,no matter who he was.But I am just asking myself what happened to the grouo of people who Samorah threw in Milanji bushes just because they did not take part in politics.
Aboard the Lockerbie flight were U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Special Agents Daniel Emmett O'Connor and Ronald Albert Lariviere. Matthew Gannon, the Central Intelligence Agency's deputy station chief in Beirut, Lebanon. . So the Americans would warn Pik Botha but not their own people - ridiculous !
This was a very tough time in Southern Africa 🌍. The time of war boers and those capitalists were refusing to give SADC countries freedom where Namibia included. Then aayee (oita)wat was. here which has caused President Samora Maseru to be killed by South African minorities. Those Pk Botha Ashi in was bitter I'm telling you. In my country Namibia 🇳🇦 we had a curfew ashi war was here. Anywhere those who died for Southern Africa 's independent and Africa at large. We thank God very much as he has.given us our independence. Glory be to God.
Some people support a conspiracy theory. The same people.usually denounce everyone who holds to other conspiracy theories, especially about events since 2015. . .
Samora Machel was a very much loved Pan-Africanist. I remember how much sorrow his death evoked in the then Frontline States. His famous slogans where "Aluta Continua, abash imperialism".
What people are not aware of or perhaps it's buried to protect the guilty. Zimbabwe and Mozambicans were aligning for a federation with English as the language. Portugal Chissano and South Africa knew what went on as all Mozambicans who were in Zimbabwe training at various institutions were immediately withdrawn and program curtailed. Talk to Chissano he may have answers
I was reading through the comments and of there's a story of Mozambican and south African soldiers raiding a village in search of samoras close associate that he had met with before going for that military conference, if that story is true then clearly chissano and frelimo had something to do with it
