Defence committee postponement angers EFF as DRC conflict rages

1 min


The EFF has slammed the ANC over the postponement of a parliamentary committee meeting in which MPs were expecting to hold institutions close to the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) to account over the country’s military presence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Parliament’s portfolio committee on defence and military veterans was meant to meet on Wednesday to receive an update from the military health services on the status of its pharmacies and report on pharmacies set for closure.

The committee was also scheduled to consider its first-term programme.

The meeting was, however, taken off the memo of committee meetings for parliament on Wednesday morning.

The EFF said the postponement was a bid to avoid accountability over the deaths of SANDF personnel in the DRC, where 13 soldiers lost their lives as Rwanda-backed M23 rebels took control of Goma.
