Malawi Defence Force (MDF) has announced the death of Lance Corporal Chitenji Kamanga who died Monday afternoon in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) while on a peacekeeping mission.
A statement from the Force said the 28-year-old died after armed rebels attacked an MDF base where she served under the United Nations’ Stabilization Mission.
MDF acting spokesman, Major Emmanuel Kelvin Mlelemba, said MDF had lost a courageous, hardworking and disciplined female soldier.
“We express our deep and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and pray that God give them strength and courage to bear this huge loss,” wrote Mlelemba in a statement, adding that her family had been informed accordingly.
