Defense Minister Had Broken Her Silence Over SA Supply To Russia

In late 2020, a Russian cargo ship called the MV was at the center of a diplomatic dispute between Russia and the United States. The US government had accused the ship of violating economic sanctions by transporting goods to Syria that could be used for military purposes. However, South Africa’s Defense Minister, Thandi, had explained that the ship was in the country to pick up material that was ordered before the Covid – 19 pandemic broke out.




The MV is owned by a Russian company and was originally designed to transport oil and gas. However, recently, the ship has been used to transport other goods, including military equipment. In June 2020, the US government announced that it had imposed sanctions on the ship and its owner, alleging that they had violated US law by transporting goods to Syria that could be used for military purposes.

Thandi’s explanation was significant because it indicated that South Africa was not willing to bow to US pressure and was determined to maintain its foreign policy. South Africa has traditionally had good relations with Russia and has been critical of US sanctions against Russia.


 

Thandi had also emphasized that South Africa was committed to upholding international law and that it had not violated any international sanctions by allowing the MV to dock in Cape Town. She stated that South Africa was a sovereign country that would not be dictated to by any foreign power.


In conclusion, Defense Minister Thandi’s explanation that the MV was in South Africa to pick up material that had been ordered before the Covid – 19 pandemic broke out was significant in the context of the diplomatic dispute between Russia and the US. It demonstrated South Africa’s commitment to maintaining its foreign policy and upholding international law, while also highlighting the challenges and complexities of navigating the global political landscape.
