The United States has shown an utter disrespect for the sovereign nation of South Africa as its ambassador to South Africa arrogantly accused South Africa of aiding Russia with ammunition.
The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco) has announced that political steps will be taken to reprimand US ambassador to SA, Reuben Brigety, for not following proper diplomatic channels to express his country’s concerns over arms allegedly being sent to Russia from SA.
Communicating this, Dirco spokesperson Clayson Monyela said “DIRCO will today démarche the USA Ambassador to South Africa following his remarks yesterday. A démarche is a diplomatic term to summons and protest a representative of a foreign country.
He added that Minister Naledi Pandor would also speak to her USA counterpart, Secretary Antony Blinken, this afternoon on SA’s decision to take action against Brigety. Monyela added that “the National Conventional Arms Control Committee has no record of an approved arms sale by the state to Russia related to the period/incident in question.
