In May, the US Ambassador in South Africa the country accused of supplying arms to Russia. A commission of inquiry commissioned by the South African government has now done this rejected. The Russian freighter “Lady R” in question had loaded an arms delivery for the South African army that had been delayed for years, according to a summary of the investigation report. The three-man investigative team, led by a judge, notes in the report, dated August, that the “Lady R” had loaded secret armaments for the army, which the country had ordered years ago from a company based in the United Arab Emirates. The fact that the “Lady R” was subject to US sanctions because of the Russian war of aggression was only noticed in October, when the ship was already underway. Due to the sanctions, the ship was diverted to Simon’s Town at short notice instead of to the originally planned port. There the goods were unloaded for reasons of secrecy under cover of darkness.
