Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said SA categorically denied there had been any government-authorised sales of weapons to Russia. But she also left open the possibility that any such shipment may have been illegal. Heitman said he could not “think of anything we make that the Russians would need for their war”, adding that he believed “we never made any substantial sales to Russia in the past and pretty sure we have not done so now”.He also left the door open to another possibility – of SA acting as “middleman” or transit point for arms shipments to Russia while the US and Europe had imposed sanctions on Russia after it invaded Ukraine last year.
