President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed a panel to probe the circumstances surrounding the docking of the Russian vessel Lady R in Simon’s Town. Ramaphosa says the impact on international relations and the public outcry compelled him to act.
US ambassador Reuben Brigety accused South Africa of providing weapons to Russia through the vessel but later apologised. Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says the panel is expected to conclude their probe within six weeks.
“The president decided to establish the inquiry because of the seriousness of the allegations, the extent of public interest and the impact on South Africa’s international relations.
