Base Plan : Oshigambo.

The Oshigambo base was located north-east of the town of Ondangwa. It was a satellite base of 53 BN, Ondangwa in Sector 10. The map provided below shows the base as it looked during the 1980s. When the SADF withdrew in 1989, the base was stripped of all available material after the forces left. It is unknown whether the former base has been put to an alternate use now.

We would like to thank all those who provided material for this section. If you have material that you would like to submit to us, or short stories that you would like to relate, please contact the WebMaster on the link below. Furthermore, we would particularly appreciate any photos of the Oshigambo base.
