Pretoria - The wave of sexual misconduct and abuse claims against deployed troops is a thorn in the side of the SANDF.
Adjutant-General of the SANDF Major-General Eric Mnisi said sexual misconduct by deployed troops, especially in the DRC, had become a huge embarrassment for the humanitarian sector. “One of the challenges we are facing is sexual exploitation and abuse. This is not necessarily rape, but basically troops having consensual sexual relations with the locals, like in the case of the DRC,” he said.
Deputy legal counsel to the United States Africa Command Mark Maxwell said this was what the three-day conference sought to bring forth. He said they would also discuss ways to tackle numerous issues in the military within the confines of the law. Discussions throughout the conference were tempered with realism, as participants weighed new ideas with an understanding of military justice.
