Border War and SADF Graves in Johannesburg and Environs

Border War and SADF Graves in Johannesburg and Environs.

I know that its an impossible task to ever document all of the graves pertaining to the Border War and the SADF. As such I have used as a basis the following criteria for inclusion in this page.
The grave must be from 1975 upwards and be identifyable as being of a serviceman. It may include SANDF members as well. I only really have access to the cemeteries in and around Johannesburg so only these are on this page. However, I am willing to accept inclusions where offered, these may be sent to me via the Contact Page
