「The #SANationalDefenceForce is preparing to send reinforcements from #SouthAfrica to the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (#DRC), said military sources, after nine South African soldiers were killed and several injured in fighting there on Thursday, 23 January and Friday, 24 January.

Parliament has called for a probe into the combat readiness of the force and whether it has adequate air and other support after its heavy losses.

The #SANDF announced on Saturday that nine soldiers had died and an unnamed number were wounded in successfully repelling a full-scale attack on them by Rwandan-backed #M23 rebels who have laid siege to the provincial capital, #Goma.

“Due to the heroic resistance put up by our gallant fighters,” the M23 had not only been halted but had been pushed back, said the SANDF.

It said seven of those killed were members of the Southern African Development Community (#SADC) Mission in DRC (#SAMIDRC) while two were members of the #UN peacekeeping mission in DRC, #Monusco. Their mission is to neutralise armed rebel groups like M23 which have been terrorising civilians in eastern DRC for decades.」

While everyone is going on about the USA political shitshow there is another shitshow in Africa.
There is video doing the rounds showing the South African National Defence Force deploying in the DRC. The #SANDF is supposed to be a peace keeping force but special forces with ZU-23 autocannons and G5 155mm howitzers indicate something totally different.
They are engaging M23, the Rwandan supported rebels.

Forgive me that this is bigger worry for this South African.

#southafrica #DRC

Democratic Republic of #Congo / #SouthAfrica 🇨🇩🇿🇦: "March 23 Movement" (#M23) carried out an attack on South African National Defence Force (#SANDF) in North #Kivu.

M23 seemingly captured a Casspir 4x4 MRAP and a 'Mamba' armored vehicle with .50 Cal M2 heavy machine gun.

「Lest we forget – SS Mendi 21 February 1917

The #SouthAfricanNativeLabourCorps men aboard her came from a range of social backgrounds, and from a number of different peoples spread over the South African provinces and neighbouring territories. (287 were from #Transvaal, 139 from the #EasternCape, 87 from #Natal, 27 from #NorthernCape, 26 from the #OrangeFreeState, 26 from #Basutoland, eight from #Bechuanaland [#Botswana], five from #WesternCape, one from #Rhodesia and one from #SouthWestAfrica). Most had never seen the sea before this voyage, and very few could swim. The officers and NCOs were white Southern Africans.

[...]

Poignantly, 21 February 2024 did not see military celebrations but the sombre repatriation to South Africa of two SA National Defence force soldiers killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a rebel mortar strike last week.」
