Jan Jurgens Roets SCHUTTE, 16 Aug 1958 Springs - 23 Aug 1978 Katima Mulilo, seun van Stefanus Johannes Bester SCHUTTE en Johanna Susanna Maria VENTER.

Hy is oorlede tydens die Grens-oorlog toe PLAN (Swapo se gewapende vleuel) Katima Mulilo met 122mm vuurpyle vanuit Zambia aangeval het in die vroee oggend ure van 23 Augustus 1978. Dertig vuurpyle is afgevuur op die dorp waarvan slegs 2 skade aangerig het. Die een vuurpyl het 'n skool in die swart woonbuurt beskadig en die ander een het 'n bungalow in die militere basis getref. In die bungalow is 10 soldate gedood (waarvan Jan Jurges Roets Schutte een was) en 10 ander verwond ("South Africa's Border War, 1966 - 1989" deur Willem Steenkamp bl. 80). Hy was ongetroud. Sy naam verskyn op die ere-rol van gesneuweldes by Fort Klapperkop in Pretoria.

My name is Bobby Thomson. I was in Katima Mulilo that night. I was a gunner and served at the mortar locating radar (32 Loc Battery) which was situated on a tower next to the heli pad. The second red eye landed between us and the heli-pad . We then directed fire onto pre-listed targets along the river and in Sesheke and the guns at golf wiped out all their long and medium range weapons within the first 10 - 15 minutes after the attack. I remember that we were in a direct line between Golf firebase and some of the targets in Zambia. We would see the firing of the guns, then hear the shells come overhead and hear the explosions when they landed. Lt Schalekamp gave mopping-up fire orders the next day. The next day we went to look at the bungalow and what we saw remained with me for many a year after that.
