A little-known news platform falsely reported that two South African National Defence Force members surrendered to M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
We have been reminded in recent weeks that sometimes the greatest enemies we face are the ones we cannot see and that the greatest threat lies closest to home. On Tuesday, a little-known news platform, National Security News, reported that two South Africa n National Defence Force members had surrendered to M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo . It was nonsense, of course.
If those who want us out of the DRC cannot shake our determination, they will do so by spreading fear and doubt in South African minds. To suggest that our soldiers had surrendered plays havoc with the hearts and minds of those left behind. We have nothing to hide, we can prove that all our members deployed in the DRC are present and accounted for.
And lest we forget why we are there, we deployed our soldiers there because of our commitment to our responsibilities as a continental leader.
