This comes after US ambassador Reuben Brigety publicly announced he had evidence that South Africa had sold arms and ammunition to Russia when a vessel docked at a naval base in Cape Town last year.
JOHANNESBURG - International Relations and Cooperation director-general Zane Dangor said the South African government is yet to see proof regarding claims that the country sold arms to Russia in its conflict against Ukraine.
South African officials said they're waiting on intelligence that may shed some light on the circumstances of Lady R's visit to the country. While damning accusations have since been made against the country, Dangor said the country's investigations will also take into account the US intelligence.
