The SDNDF member died in clashes sparked by President Joseph Kabila’s decision to stay in office after his constitutional mandate expires today.

SANDF spokesman Ronald Maseko says they’ll release a statement when the soldier’s family has been informed.

The peacekeeper was one of seven people who died in clashes in the North Kivu city of Butembo.

He and a policemen and five members of the Mai Mai were killed when the militia attacked a prison and other government installations.

Congolese officials have braced for further attacks in the giant central African country where the opposition has violently opposed what it calls  a power grab by President Joseph Kabila.
