# The South African National Defence Force says the first group of soldiers back from the Democratic Republic of Congo has completed demobilisation. Their return followed a ceasefire between M23 rebels and DRC forces. A third group of 248 landed at Bram Fischer Airport in Bloemfontein yesterday and will demobilise at the Tempe Military Base in the Free State capital, with the fourth group expected today. Defence Force spokesperson Godfrey Thulare says the process includes a short intelligence programme:
