Joe Modise vs Shibata Katsuie

Modise joined the armed wing of the African National Congress, Umkhonto we Sizwe, after the ANC was banned. He underwent military training abroad and became a key figure in the armed struggle against apartheid.

Modise rose to become the commander of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the ANC. He oversaw guerrilla operations, including sabotage campaigns and infiltration of fighters into South Africa, from bases in neighboring countries.

As Defence Minister, Modise oversaw the complex process of integrating MK, the apartheid-era South African Defence Force, and the homelands' armies into a unified force. The process faced challenges but was largely successful.

Modise was appointed Minister of Defence in Nelson Mandela's first post-apartheid government. He was responsible for integrating the former apartheid military, MK, and other armed forces into a single South African National Defence Force.

Shibata Katsuie served as a senior general under Oda Nobunaga, leading campaigns against the Asakura and Ikko-ikki. He was appointed lord of Echizen Province and commanded the Hokuriku region.

Shibata Katsuie commanded a division at the Battle of Nagashino, where Oda Nobunaga's forces defeated the Takeda clan. His troops helped secure victory, contributing to the decline of the Takeda.

Shibata Katsuie was defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the Battle of Shizugatake. After the defeat, he retreated to his castle and committed suicide, ending his challenge to Hideyoshi's succession of Nobunaga.
