Description
"Our nation is in mourning," says South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, offering his "profound and deepest sympathy" at the memorial service for the 14 soldiers killed when the M23 armed group's capture of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The memorial service was attended by members of the armed forces and families of the fallen soldiers at Swartkops Air Force Base in Centurion.
With several thousand South African troops deployed in eastern DRC in support of the Congolese army, the return of the remains was eagerly awaited, 11 days after the first of them were killed. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
