Withdrawal of SANDF troops from DRC a work in progress: Minister

Date: Jun 5, 2025

South African (SA) Defence and Military Veterans Minister Angie Motshekga says the process to withdraw the Southern African Development Community (SADC) mission in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a work in progress.

Motshekga says despite the delay in the operation, significant work was still being done.

Motshekga says cooperation between SA and member states is still going well.

Motshekga emphasises that they are managing what would have been seen as tensions between South Africa and Rwanda.

“We are working through the African Union, working through the United Nations, we are working through SADC. So really, it’s not so much of the South African issue, it’s a regional, it’s a continental but it’s also an international matter. And that’s why I think the movement is, except for the difficult driving terrain, everything else up to now in terms of safety, in terms of relations is going well,” says Motshekga.
