Ramaphosa rubbishes claims that SA is arming Russia

PRETORIA - President Cyril Ramaphosa has rubbished claims that a Russian vessel that had docked in Cape Town, left fully loaded with ammunition.

This follows a statement by the US ambassador to SA that our country supplied Russia with arms.

Ramaphosa says the remarks undermine the spirit of cooperation and partnership that characterised recent engagements between US government officials and a South African delegation led by National Security Special Advisor to the President Dr Sydney Mufumadi.

He says government has undertaken to institute an independent enquiry to be led by a retired judge.
