Earlier, US ambassador to South Africa Reuben Brigety claimed that the Russian ship Lady R had received weaponry from South Africa in December 2022. The demands for the envoy's expulsion are intensifying after a special independent commission created by President Cyril Ramaphosa found no confirmation of Brigety's claims.
