This South-Africa-produced Enfield L5A2 sniper rifle was the one used by ex-SADF sniper Pieter Achterberg to shoot African National Congress agitator Nelson Mandela in 1986. While it often alleged that Achterberg was acting on orders from the South African government, the charges were never proven. Achterberg committed suicide in his jail cell three weeks after the shooting, under “extremely suspicious circumstances”.
