PRETORIA – South Africa has welcomed the agreement of a ceasefire between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.  
The truce follows talks between DRC and Rwanda, mediated by Angola.
Last week President Cyril Ramaphosa undertook a working visit to Luanda. There Ramaphosa and his counterpart, President João Lourenço, committed to continue working alongside other leaders to ensure that the ceasefire becomes permanent.
