THE United Democratic Movement on Monday said it had written to United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan asking him to probe allegations that South Africa is fueling the war in the Congo, but chances are he won’t respond. The UDM addressed its letter to the New York-based Annan to: The Secretary-General, United Nations, Washington D.C. UDM leader Bantu Holomisa alleges that South African weapons are being used in the DRC, that South Africans are fighting there and that the government is backing rebels trying to oust the government of President Laurent Kabila. Holomisa told a press conference the aim was to protect South African mining interests.
