Uganda- South Africa Meet as Museveni and Ramaphosa Are Set To Discuss Some Patent Issues.

South Africa maintains troops in DRC which have thwarted M23 rebels’ multiple attempts to seize strategic towns in eastern DRC including Sake and Goma

The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa is set to meet his Ugandan counterpart, Yoweri Museveni this Tuesday morning to discuss the raging conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Ramaphosa arrived in Uganda on Monday for an official working visit. 

He was received at Entebbe International Airport by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Affairs, Hon. John Mulimba.

Uganda’s State House said President Ramaphosa was invited by President Museveni and the “two leaders are expected to meet tomorrow to discuss bilateral relations and other crucial matters at State House-Entebbe.”

The South African presidency said Ramaphosa “will be meeting with President Museveni to discuss matters relating to regional security and stability.”

South Africa maintains troops in DRC which have thwarted M23 rebels’ multiple attempts to seize strategic towns in eastern DRC including Sake and Goma. 

In March, 2024, a South African soldier recently shot and killed a colleague before committing suicide. This brought to four the death toll of South African soldiers in the DRC since their deployment in the war-torn country on December 15, 2023.

In February, a mortar bomb landed inside one of the South African continent’s military bases, killing two soldiers – Captain Simon Bobe and Lance Corporal Irven Semono. Ramaphosa recently attended the 30th commemoration of the genocide against the Tutsis in Kigali, Rwanda. 

He also held talks with President Paul Kagame whose country is accused of helping the M23 rebels.  The South African leader last came to Kampala in January 2024 for the 19th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit.
