To remember Cuito Cuanavale is to remember Cuba in Africa

Pretoria, 8 July 2025. Embassy officials participated today in a historic meeting held at the University of South Africa (UNISA) to commemorate Cuba's international support in the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale, considered one of the most significant battles in history since the fights in World War II. 

A small town with an internationalist vocation faced a military power that employed powerful forces, modern aviation, artillery and state-of-the-art armoured vehicles, but was unable to take the town, which then became a symbol of resistance and courage.

The moment was propitious to thank the Cuban, Angolan and South African brothers for their sacrifice.

Also participating were members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Pretoria, veterans of Cuito Cuanavale, professors, students from UNISA, members of the Cuban collaboration in South Africa, and friends of solidarity.
