President Cyril Ramaphosa accuses Rwanda -backed M23 rebels of killing South African peacekeepers.

Rwanda 's President Paul Kagame hit back, accusing South Africa of being part of a "belligerent force" 13 South African soldiers have been killed in the fighting since last week .

South Africa and Rwanda have long had a difficult relationship.

South Africa's involvement in DR Congo was guided by its need to "contribute to the stability" of a fellow Sadc member, says Dean Wingrin .

South Africa has been in no position, this time around, to thwart the rebel group's advance as it has lost its airpower.

Any decision to pull South African troops out of DR Congo ultimately lies with Sadc since SAMIDRC was deployed.
