DA to question minister Motshekga over chaotic SANDF DRC exit

# The DA says it will question Defence minister Angie Motshekga on the South African Defence Force’s disorganised withdrawal from the Democratic Republic of Congo in the Defence Committee meeting. The DA’s Chris Hattingh says the exit lacked planning and transparency, risking troops’ lives. With M23 rebels reportedly inspecting South African equipment, and no official briefings provided, the DA demands answers on operational failures, troop safety, and the status of military assets. Fourteen soldiers died in the conflict.
