Organisatiegeschiedenis 📅 30 Januari 1981 📍 Mozambique

South African commandos crossed into Mozambique and attacked ANC homes and offices in Matola, killing 12 ANC members. The apartheid government described the attack as a strike on an ANC planning centre, while its account inflated the death toll. The raid violated Mozambican sovereignty and showed how Pretoria extended counterinsurgency beyond its borders to target exiled opponents and their hosts.
