The Democratic Alliance today said
the press release by Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe
Mapisa-Nqakula about the exchange of diplomatic notes between South
Africa and the Central
African Republic was to mislead
Parliament.
This is because there was never a
second memorandum of understanding between the two countries.
DA Shadow Minister of Defense and
Military Veterans David Maynier said the official reason for the deployment of
the SANDF in CAR was for training and capacity building of the force in the
CAR.
“But the exchange of the diplomatic
notes clearly shows that the scope of the mission was broader and included
self-defense, protection of property and the saving of human lives in Bangui;
this was never communicated to Parliament” Maynier added.
