Operation Marion was a military operation by the South African Defence Force (SADF) during the South African Border War. The origins can be traced back to the murder of Piet Retief on 6 February 1838 by the Zulu king Dingane, which led to an alliance between the Boer (later to become Afrikaner) people and the Zulu's, whereby Afrikaner security was deemed to be closely linked to Zulu security.
