SA is only there to keep peace because the citizens of those countries are flooding SA seeking Aslam which is not good for our country. You need to understand that if SA ignores whatever war is happening in Africa We are the ones suffering the consequences. We have too many illegal immigrants in SA and that's the results of those wars. Those immigrants revert to crime when their stay in SA doesn't bear what they imagined, and this is why we have high crime rate in SA. TO solve crime you need to start from the roots level. I hope even the ignorant people understand. You are allowed to hate ANC , but sometimes you need to understand you might be the dumb one in this case.

[@ColonelChrisWyatt]

A fair assessment. But the DRC is not a major contributor to the mass influx of illegals in South Africa. Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Nigeria, China, Somalia... those are far bigger sources of origin. If the ANC is genuinely concerned about stemming the tide entering the country, the troops are best positioned inside South Africa on the border.

If Zuma should own something in Africa, I see no problem. He is African

[@mabelmadoka7848]

Africans must get education on how politics work. These deals benefits the politicians. Have you ever seen these fight each other? They have each other's backs, while the citizens of their countries wallow in abject poverty. Trust me that they gift each other with minerals farms,mines, etc. It's a fact that no amount of talk from Citizens can erase that phenomenon. All we Africans can do is pray that while they do that,they should also develop our beautiful blessed Continent and educate its Citizens with good quality education. Otherwise,there is no ending of this trend everywhere on earth. At least some nations outside our Continent take care of the basic fundamentals of their countries and continents,then loot and gift their friends.Painful fact.

[@OtsileOmphile-fn1jl]

They're there to protect African minerals not to been looted by imperialism the colonizers I mean Africa is in Africa what is the problem?🤷 If it was France, British, England or American in DRC such questions it would be asked as to say what is NATO doing in DRC? But because is SADAC in DRC keeping peace to many questions are raised 🤷

May Colonel Chris Wyatt please clarify what the United States Army is doing in Botswana?

[@russelsellick316]

Botswana has thrown them out or in the process...

US Army soldiers and military do on accusation visit after being invited there by the Govt of Botswana, just like South Africa, France, UK.

The bias here is hard to miss. America has troops everywhere. If South Africa is to be a continental giant it has to show up. The war in Congo is holding back Africa as a whole. Only the most naive person would fail to see why its critically important for SA to be there. Imagine looking for an American to be an expert on your country lol.

Why do we do it for the same reason that the US Armed forces, the Royce Armed forces, the Russian Armed forces, the Peoples liberation Army of China and many others do to protect their economic interests, ensure stability in the region and flex their military might. The reason other countries were upset with NDZ is because they wanted a leader from Francophone Africa but a leader from an Anglophone part of Africa won and they realized where the balance of power lies in the alliance.
