Tumpo was the battle that ulitimately ended the SA Angolan war in 1988. Various versions of the history but SA lost this and forced to the negotiating table. Also had a very dramatic effect on the Soviet Unions involvement and ultimate unwinding. South African Oliphant tank inside the Tumpo triangle.
