VICTORY FOR SOUTH AFRICA
The people of Cape Town gather outside the Town Hall to hear the news.
Prime Minister Johannes van Rensburg has announced that the war between South Africa and Portugal has officially ended. "The Treaty of Rome" was signed at a secret peace summit, mediated by Benito Moussolini, in the Italian Capital. The Kingdom of Italy has positive relations with both sides of the conflict and were able to provide a neutral setting for talks to occur.
After negoiating through the night PM Johannes van Rensburg and his Portuguese counterpart António de Oliveira Salazar finally reached an agreement acceptable by both parties. South Africa would retain control over both Portuguese East and West Africa as well as Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands. In return Ossewabrandwag agreed to return the islands of Sao Tome and Principe to the Portuguese government.
Antonio Salazar, flanked by advisors, signs the "Treaty of Rome"
"This is a historic day for South Africa" beamed Foriegn Secretary Gert Cronje. "Today we have shown the powers in Europe that we are not to be messed with. That the South African military can hold its own with anyone. And that the liberation of these nations demonstrates that the Age of African colonization is coming to an end."
The war between South Africa and Portugal had reached a stalemate long ago. By capturing Portuguese Guinea the South African Military had made it impossible for troops or supplies to reach Portuguese African colonies from continental Europe. Ossewabrandwag had considered a naval invasion of mainland Portugal but deemed the move as frivolous and unnecessary.
The return of peace to the shores of South Africa also brings about an end to the controversial "Three Year Draft Policy" enacted during the Portuguese-South African War. Chief of the Army C. de Weenburg du Toit has revealed that the nation will now return to a volunteer force.
