Deployment of SANDF to DRC ‘out of order’ - Malema

--:--

EFF leader Julius Malema is calling for the deployment of South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in a peacekeeping mission to be “withdrawn with immediate effect”. Malema says the deployment is “out of order” and should be stopped until South African soldiers are “fit and proper”.

President Cyril Ramaphosa authorised the deployment of 2,900 SANDF members as part of South Africa's fulfilment of its international obligation to the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) mission to support the DRC.

Malema was speaking during a media briefing on Thursday.
