The Democratic Alliance today said the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe Maphisa-Nqakula is right to take on Armscor for compromising the operational capacity of the South African National Defence Force.

DA MP David Maynier said recent released court papers in the North Gauteng Court in Pretoria provide a clear evidence that Armscor bungling compromised the SANDF`s operational capability in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Maynier said the bottom is that because of the bungling in Armscor SANDF soldiers do not have the equipment that they need to execute their mission in DRC.

He added when Armsocr appear before Parliament later this week the DA will question this because they can not be allowed to do as they please.
