EPISODE 7 – The cross and the church at Mupa

A small cross was removed by a member of the SADF from the Roman Catholic Church at Mupa in Angola during 1983, without the consent of its owners. The person who removed it later years decided to return it to where it belongs, and it was handed to Ariel Hugo who brought it along on this tour. Anton Muller prepared a special plaque which was also handed over to the congregation during a moving ceremony. The local priest and reverend Fanus Hansen, a former chaplain at 61 Mech Battalion, conducted a joint ceremony with the local choir adding a serene touch to proceedings
