Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Angie Motshekga is currently in the Democratic Republic of Congo assessing the operational conditions and welfare of South African soldiers deployed in the region. The visit comes amid reports from MONUSCO of ongoing heavy clashes between the M23, the Congolese Armed Forces, and other armed groups near Sake. Last year, six SANDF soldiers lost their lives in enemy action in the DRC, with four more succumbing to illness, murder, and suicide. To discuss this further, Elvis Presslin spoke to General Bantu Holomisa, Deputy Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
