LIVE | Presidency responds to claims that South Africa supplied Russia with ammunition
A source close to the American political establishment says South Africa has few friends in Washington – and fewer still after a recent visit there.
Ramaphosa made the remarks in the National Assembly hours after the US accused South Africa of providing ammunition to Russia through the ship when it docked in Cape Town. A diplomatic row is brewing between South Africa and the United States over the mysterious docking of a Russian cargo ship in Simon's Town - with the US Ambassador breaking his silence to call SA's minister of defence's comments"outrageous".
The battle lines for such a war were made clear in the United Nations this week, when a vote demanding Russia withdraw from Ukraine showed that four countries were willing to publicly stand with the now pariah state: Belarus, Eritrea, Syria, and North Korea.Radio silence from SANDF, navy amid questions on Russian ship docked at Simon's Town Naval Base
