The police services of South Africa and Mozambique wish to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to the governments of our respective countries for enabling members of the police services to launch Operation Rachel.

We are also grateful to the people of both countries for their support and their belief in the future of our countries. The sponsors, both local and international, are thanked for the resources that were made available and for understanding the importance of these operations.

All the members of the police services who were and still are part of Operation Rachel are especially acknowledged for their commitment and hard work — we will never forget you. We also wish to thank the Institute for Security Studies for effectively documenting this piece of Southern African history.

Our efforts in Operation Rachel are dedicated to the children of both South Africa and Mozambique — if you do not understand your history, you will never know where your destination may be in the future.
