"We'll know within the next week or so," the minister said.

After receiving the request from the UN, South Africa had said it was not in principle opposed to participating to such a mission, Dlamini-Zuma said.
"It depends on what they need and what we are able to supply...because we are already involved in a number of peacekeeping missions".
These included missions in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
A few weeks ago, Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota was reported as saying South Africa would not be able to send troops to Liberia due to its commitments in Burundi and the DRC.
Asked about this yesterday, Dlamini-Zuma said: "Let's wait for the request and see what we can do about it. The UN realises that we are stretched".
On Monday, President Thabo Mbeki attended a ceremony in the Liberian capital Monrovia where then president Charles Taylor handed over power to his former deputy, Moses Blah.
This move was aimed at ending a civil war of 14 years. – Sapa.
