JOHANNESBURG - Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has lashed out at President Cyril Ramaphosa.
He accuses him of lies, deliberate attacks and distorting their conversation on the DRC conflict.
Thirteen SANDF troops died while battling M23 rebels in eastern DRC.
But, Kagame claims Ramaphosa confirmed to him they were killed by the DRC armed forces.
In a strongly worded statement on X, Kagame says South Africa is in no position to play a peacemaker or mediator role.
Kagame brands SADC's peacekeepers as belligerent forces engaging in offensive combat to help the DRC government.
Kagame is warning that if South Africa wants confrontation, Kigali will respond accordingly.
