Yup. By the end of the 1980s, the SADF's intervention in the Angolan civil war was becoming a major drain on the South African economy. It was becoming difficult for SA to fight a conventional war far from its borders and maintain control at home. The game attempts to show how this hybrid conflict really helped end Apartheid. At the same time, the fact that the ANC was effectively at war with South Africa, and aligned with communists, probably hurt the ANC's ability to win over moderates in South Africa. You have to strike a balance.
