South Africa has announced plans to withdraw its troops from the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with President Cyril Ramaphosa informing UN Secretary-General António Guterres, that the move is aimed at realigning South African National Defence Force resources after nearly three decades of peacekeeping involvement.

South Africa currently contributes more than seven-thousand soldiers to MONUSCO, a mission established in 1999 to support stability and protect civilians in the conflict-affected DRC, with the withdrawal expected to be completed before the end of 2026.

Southern African Mineworkers Receive Major Payouts Under Historic Health Settlement

Mine safety remains one of Africa's most urgent industrial challenges. Across the continent, mining accidents continue to claim lives, South Africa alone had 42 fatalities in 2024.

Last year, at least 48 were killed in the collapse of an illegally operated goldmine in western Mali, which is one of Africa's leading gold producers, and mining sites are regularly the scene of deadly landslides and accidents.
