US EditionInquiry rejects US claims that S Africa supplied arms to Russia
- An independent inquiry commissioned by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has found no evidence to support allegations that a Russian ship collected weapons from South Africa to be transported to Russia. The accusations, made by the US ambassador to South Africa, Reuben Brigety, had raised concerns about South Africa's neutrality in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
- President Ramaphosa stated that no permit was issued for the export of arms and no arms were exported from South Africa. Instead, the Russian ship delivered weapons ordered by South Africa in 2018. The president emphasized that the allegations had damaged the country's economy and international standing.
- The independent inquiry visited the naval base, interviewed nearly 50 individuals, and reviewed over 100 documents. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, no evidence could be provided to support the claims against South Africa. The executive summary of the inquiry's report will be released for security reasons.
