All South African soldiers deployed to the Central African Republic have been withdrawn, the SA National Defence Force said on Tuesday.

“All the SANDF personnel who were still in the CAR have been withdrawn and are back home safe and are receiving all the professional support they require,” Brigadier General Xolani Mabanga said in a statement.

“Regarding the allegations by foreign reporters about the number of casualties suffered by the SANDF: the SANDF would like to assure all South Africans that there are no bodies or personnel of the SANDF that cannot be declared.”
