In May 1985 Captain Wynand du Toit was leading a team of 4 Recce commandos, South Africa's elite naval Special Forces, to destroy a Cabinda oil refinery hundreds of kilometres behind enemy lines. They were compromised however; two men were killed and du Toit was captured, and spent the next 2.5 years in solitary confinement as a prisoner of the Angolan and Cuban forces.

He tells his story here.
