Nine of Pretoria’s soldiers were killed in the Central African state last week as rebel attacks escalated

The South African National Defence (SANDF) says its members are safe in their bases, amid widespread reports that M23 rebels have seized the city of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

IOL reported last week that in a tragic escalation of violence in DRC, nine members of the SANDF were killed, and several other soldiers were injured while serving in Sake, on a mission aimed at restoring stability and peace in the eastern region.

The SANDF troops, deployed as part of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Mission in the DRC (SAMIDRC), were engaged in a two-day battle to prevent the rebel group from advancing towards Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu.
