Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Southern African Development Community\u2019s Standby Force is expected to be deployed to Mozambique on Thursday, but Mozambique has not yet signed the legal document allowing it to enter the country.<\/p>\n

During a security cluster briefing on Tuesday, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said 15 July was D-Day for the regional force\u2019s deployment to Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, right up until last night, the status of force agreement had not been signed,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The deployment may be affected by the current instability in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The military was deployed to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, where riots have broken out, to support an overwhelmed police force.<\/p>\n

Despite the riots, Mapisa-Nqakula said she did not believe the situation in the country warranted a state of emergency.<\/p>\n

Military<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, a state emergency actually in a sense, you take all the liberties from citizens and the military takes over the country. For now, we do not think we have reached that point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defence chief Major General Simphiwe Sangweni said at the briefing that the military would not be at the forefront of the response to the looting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would not be correct for the military to be on the forefront to deal with criminality,\u201d Sangweni said, adding that soldiers would be deployed to areas where law enforcement officers needed support.<\/p>\n

\u201cSAPS and other law enforcement agencies will conduct their work, and when there is a situation which then requires that the military [to] come in and assist and support as part of the security cluster, then the call will be made,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The decision, however, will be sanctioned by the president.<\/p>\n
