This follows serious allegations made by the United States Ambassador to South Africa, claiming the country supplied war weapons to Russia.
Their concern is that the latest revelations may jeopardise SA's preferential access to the US market under the auspices of the African Growth and Opportunity Act .South Africa was the largest trading partner to the United States of America under the AGOA in 2021.
