South Africa will not weaken in its resolve to realise an Africa that is free of war and conflict, poverty and underdevelopment and which is at peace with itself and the world, President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday evening.
He was speaking at a memorial service at the Swartkop Air Force Bas for the 14 SANDF soldiers who were killed in fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo last month.
“We say from the time our country became free, we have participated in many missions to bring about peace on our continent. We have succeeded in bringing peace to a number of countries on the continent.
