APLA GO GENTLY

FORMER Azanian People’s Liberation Army members will assemble in Umtata on March 20 for their final parade, in line with a decision taken late last year that they should formally disband. Although Apla was part of the integration of the non-statutory and statutory forces into the South African National Defence Force, it has never officially disbanded. The decision to do so was made at the Pan Africanist Congress’ annual conference in December last year.
