Gert Gerber was born and raised in Rhodesia. He was my cousin. His parents came to RSA in search of a new life and a promising future in South Africa. He spent his high school years with my father and myself in Pietersburg. He became my brother and we were drafted almost at the same time being of similar age. I went to Infantry while he went to Air Force. While I was in sector 10 he was killed at Ondangwa. I was refused attendance of the funeral due to 'service of a strategic nature'. Nobody has ever shed any light on how or why he died. The official story was that he rolled a truck on garbage duty. What a loss of a brother and friend, and for the sake of camp refuse?
