SANDF soldiers killed in DRC

Two South African soldiers deployed to the DRC a few days ago, have been killed in a mortar attack. Three others were wounded. South Africa has sent almost 3-thousand soldiers to conflict-ridden eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. #eNCA #DStv403

What a difference it would make if the South African government invested as much time in protecting its own citizens as it's spends in protecting other countries citizens.

We sometimes just invite unnecessary troubles for ourselves

[johngibson]

SA soldiers poorly trained by incompetent officers and no air cover resources. We sadly going to mourn many of our soldiers...😮

Countries should stop involving themselves in the conflict of others thousands of miles away in other parts of the world

I don't think SANDF troops even know how to shoot!!

[d.athegreat]

These soldiers are suppose to defend South Africa, so what were they doing in DRC? Do we have another South Africa in DRC?.

Media can you please advocate for our soldiers the SADC mission does not have budget, another incident a SA aircraft was fired at by rebels. Protocol an air craft must always fly with the rooifalk for air cover. Because soldiers have no voice their lives are put at risk. Why cut budget and increase number of missions

SA wake up m23 is beyond what your told its a regional issue that only Uganda and Rwanda understand

[judyking]

It's sounding that we have 2900 soldiers in another country at a cost of tens of millions and look at the state this country is in, where there aren't even enough funds to place all the newly qualified doctors and that's just one example, but should we be surprised because the government is always placing the emphasis on helping outsiders and our own people are left to get on with it.

These sandf soldiers are not trained and equipped for this mission.

Sad to hear this my thoughts and condolences to their families and friends

[BuciboLebo]

It is Rwanda that is attacking our souldiers.

[victoriacele]

Other countries always do documentaries

[vincentnk]

I know for a fact so far Abigail number of south Africa soldiers have died now you show 2died shame on you sooner or later you will find out the truth m23 is fighting for their own right

[CenterZero_DeadSecurity]

Our border is wide open, bring back our soldiers.

[JonguvuyoNonkonyana-rc]

You wanna tell me these Rebels are more stronger than SANDF?
If it's like that SA it's not safe

[idusaunion]

President Malema have just had a press conference to inform you that Ramaphosa is what our soldiers to go die

[vuyosayasholento]
