THEFT OF SA WEAPONS FUELS BURUNDI CONFLICT
The poor management of SANDF equipment and the theft of weapons that ended up in rebels' hands are fueling the conflict in Burundi -- where SA troops had been sent to keep the peace, The Star newspaper in Johannesburg has reported.
It said sources confirmed that millions of rands worth of vehicles, guns, ammunition and bombs had vanished from the SANDF army base in Burundi over the last four years.
The South African Department of Defence indicated it would be able to comment only later this week "after conducting the proper research," report said.
