A SA National Defence Force soldier died in an explosion in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), said the defence department on Saturday.

Corporal Sibusiso Dube, 30, died after an explosion at the Nyiragongo base in Goma on Friday.

A board of enquiry will be convened to determine the circumstances leading up to his death.

Dube was a field engineer in Bethlehem in the Free State before he was deployed to the DRC to support the United Nations Monuc Mission.

He is survived by his wife Zama Dube who lives in Umlazi, Durban.

Minister of Defence Mosiuoa Lekota, his department and the Chief of the SANDF General Godfrey Ngwenya have extended their condolences to the Dube's family. - Sapa
