The Raid on Gaborone (referred to as "Operation Plecksy" by the then South African Defence Force) took place on 14 June 1985 when South African Defence Force troops, under the order of General Constand Viljoen, crossed into Botswana violating International Law and attacked South African émigrés living in exile in Gaborone. The raid, the fifth South African attack on a neighbouring country since 1981, killed 12 people including women and children; only five of the victims were actual members of the African National Congress (ANC), at the time the main opposition group against the National Party white supremacist minority regime.

  • في الثمانينيات، توترت العلاقات بين بوتسوانا وجنوب إفريقيا. استخدمت الجماعات المناهضة للفصل العنصري مثل المؤتمر الوطني الأفريقي بوتسوانا ودول أخرى في جنوب إفريقيا كملاذ. أقام حزب المؤتمر الوطني الأفريقي قواعد في غابورون التي أنتجت دورات تدريبية مكثفة لهجمات العصابات. تحت ستار السياح في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع، سيتلقى المجندون الجدد تدريبات على التعامل مع القنابل اليدوية وقائمة بالأهداف المراد مهاجمتها. على الرغم من سياسة عدم الانحياز في بوتسوانا، شنت قوات دفاع جنوب إفريقيا عدة غارات عبر الحدود لوقف الجماعات.
