Members of parliament are on Monday expected to urgently debate the deaths of SANDF soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The SANDF on Friday confirmed that the process of moving the bodies to a UN logistics base in Entebbe, Uganda, is under way. However, grieving relatives say they have been left in the dark and forced to rely on media reports for updates.
The SANDF said the bodies are being transported by road from Goma in the DRC, through Rwanda, to the UN logistics base in Entebbe. From there they will be flown to South Africa.
