Operation Eland with Andy Balaam – Part 1

August 31, 2025 · 34 min

Show notes

This week on the Underground Strategy Podcast, Max Lauker is joined once again by Andy Balaam, former Selous Scout and veteran of some of the Bush War’s most daring missions.

After walking us through Operation Long John, Balaam now turns to Operation Eland. In August 1976, fewer than a hundred Scouts crossed into Mozambique in a flying column, targeting a ZANLA base at Nyadzonya.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where Balaam walks through the battle itself and the aftermath.
