During the period of between 1980 to 1990, and years earlier, several Umkhonto we Sizwe combatants infiltrated South Africa through the borders of Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, but in the main through Zimbabwe to liberate South Africa. Several battles were fought, including the Battle of Mutale which was fought over 24 hours along the Mutale River near the Pafuri Gate of the Kruger National Park.
On the morning of 28 March 1988 a battle ensued between the then Venda Defense Force ( VDF) and the nine person MK unit at the Mutale River on a little island ( Tshitangadzimeni). The VDF called for reinforcements from then South African Defense Force (SADF) and helicopter gunship were deployed which ended in the demise of 5 of the nine MK guerrillas and several from the Defense forces. Three of the MK survivors include Duma Mlambo, James Sekgale and Thabo Dube.
