South Africa recently faced a tough moment as its National Assembly gathered to honor soldiers lost in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This gathering was not just about mourning; it opened up important discussions about how to keep peace abroad while ensuring the safety of those who serve. The ongoing challenges in the DRC remind everyone of the courage and sacrifices made by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). As the nation reflects on these losses, there’s a strong call to learn from the past and find better ways to support peacekeeping missions in the future.
