Just in: Former South African Defense Force (SADF) army general Fanisa Shezi says the current troops currently deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are ill-equipped, under funded and don't have a satellite in the sky.

His comments came amidst mounting tensions between South Africa (SA) and Rwanda over SA's presence in DRC whether is for peace keeping or for national interest.

Shezi added that SADF can retreat to neighbouring countries with similar terrain and reinforce the current troops. He stressed the need to maintain SA's influence in the regional bloc affairs.

Shezi explained that the conflict in that country, especially in the Goma area, is as a result of the scramble for natural resources which are highly concentrated in the area.
