Pretoria, April 30, 2020.- 'To the Cuban people we say, we are aware that when you left Angola after the historic victory [over the racist apartheid regime in the Battle of CuitoCuanavale in 1988] you did not demand either gold or diamonds, and you did not take anything whatsoever but you left only with the corpses of your fallen combatants.

We will forever be indebted to you for the march to liberation in our region and country, the march that you left behind for us to defend, advance and deepen.
