The US ambassador to South Africa accused the country of providing weapons and ammunition to Russia for its war in Ukraine via a cargo ship linked to a sanctioned company.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said an investigation into the visit by a Russian vessel named Lady R to his nation’s main naval base was already underway with the help of US intelligence services before Ambassador Reuben Brigety went public at a news conference.
