SA envoy escaped DRC attack

Johannesburg - South Africa's ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo had left the residence of that country's vice president Jean-Pierre Bemba in Kinshasa before fighting broke out, SABC news reported on Tuesday.

According to earlier reports that 12 delegates, including ambassador Sisa Ngombane, were evacuated from Bemba's residence when armed forces reported to be loyal to President Joseph Kabila attacked it on Monday night.

Ngombane says he was only informed on his return to South Africa that fighting had broken out.

Bemba will face Kabila in a second-round runoff election.

Meanwhile, all flights to and from Kinshasa have been cancelled as the airport is not operational, SABC reported.

Ridwaan Moola says... Get your facts straight boet...where the is significant population of Muslims and Islamic law prevails holds the least amount of crime in the world... Unfortunately those who lack the belief in God or have a lack of morals tend to not consider the consequences of their actions ... Further more,study the rules of Islam before branding your theory, a Muslim should not harm anyone!! Radical groups arise in every sect of life,it doesn't make it right and neither does it mean everyone in that race practices upon that, why don't you talk about the recent white gunmen who just for the fun of it started shooting down innocent people... Make a claim of religion there... Or are they atheist?? Stop using your narrow minded brain and do some intelligent research !! Read the article...
