THE phased withdrawal of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) troops from the war-prone eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) marks a significant new chapter in regional peace-keeping efforts.
This was according to Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Angie Motshekga, who provided an update on the phased withdrawal of the SANDF during a media briefing in Pretoria yesterday. She explained that the withdrawal was a structured process, designed to ensure the safe return of both troops and equipment was not compromised.
The soldiers were deployed in the DRC in December 2023 as part of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and UN peacekeeping deployments.
Fourteen SANDF members have been killed and several injured during intense combat with the M23 rebel group near Goma. Motshekga praised the "brave men and women of the SANDF" for serving with honour, pride, professionalism, and commitment under extremely challenging circumstances.
