Johannesburg — The South Africans going to help the Nigerian army against terror group Boko Haram should be arrested on their return, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said in Beeld on Thursday.
She labelled them “mercenaries” in comments made to reporters on the eve of the African Union’s summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Beeld has reported that a multinational team of over 100 private military experts was on its way to Nigeria to help against Boko Haram.
Former soldiers of the SA Defence Force [the predecessor of the SA National Defence Force] formed the core.
“There are consequences when somebody leaves the country and provides any form of military assistance that is not part of the government’s deployment,” she said.
