Ricardo Teixeira: SANDF in the DRC | Carte Blanche | M-Net

In late January 2025, 14 South African National Defence Force (SANDF) soldiers were killed in clashes with M23 rebels in Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In March, Defence Minister Angie Motshekga informed Parliament that the deployed SANDF troops possessed sufficient military equipment, ammunition and defensive capabilities during the engagement. She attributed the casualties to the soldiers being attacked and shot at by the enemy. Motshekga also reported that South African forces killed an estimated 800 enemy combatants in self-defense. In response to the escalating conflict and the loss of South African soldiers, South Africa deployed additional troops and military equipment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in early February. Approximately 700 to 800 soldiers were sent to Lubumbashi, along with medicine, ammunition and other supplies to reinforce the beleaguered mission and deter further clashes. We recently spoke to ‪@defenceWebSA‬'s Ricardo Teixeira about what happened in Goma, the ongoing conflict and whether our troops are capable of fulfilling their so-called peacekeeping mission.
