JOHANNESBURG - The SANDF officially ended its deployment to the DRC.
Soldiers are returning home from what began as a peacekeeping mission.
But it ended with a bloody confrontation that cost lives.
South Africa's involvement in the DRC goes back a long way.
Former President Nelson Mandela first intervened in 1997 with a peace summit on the SAS Outeniqua.
Defence analyst Ricardo Teixeira said the soldiers arrived in Uganda on Wednesday.
