Anc Calls On Unsc To Act Against Attacks On Peacekeepers In Drc

The African National Congress ANC has called on the United Nations Security Council to act on attacks against UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Thirteen South African Defence Force soldiers have been killed in less than a week in the DRC after being caught in the crossfire between the M23 rebels and the DRC army.

The party has conveyed its condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers.

Briefing the media on the outcomes of the ANC National Lekgotla in Johannesburg, party Secretary General Fikile Mbalula condemns misleading reports surrounding the deaths of the soldiers.

He has advised the public to treat the matter with sensitivity and to await details from the Ministry of Defence.
