She revealed this on 28 February while answering questions in Parliament during a National Assembly plenary session. Now South Africa is fulfilling its obligations to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and in pursuit of peace and stability in the DRC. The SAMIDRC force will comprise 5 000 troops from South Africa, Malawi, and Tanzania, with South Africa providing the majority 2 900 under Operation Thiba. We on the other hand ensure that whatever equipment our sons and daughters need in the DRC has been shipped. The SA Navy is also in the process of receiving a third inshore patrol vessel from Damen Shipyards Cape Town.
