The authorities of the Republic of South Africa in the official report of the independent commission told the details of the case of the Russian vessel Lady R, which allegedly transported various weapons to Russia.
According to representatives of South Africa, the ship delivered various equipment to the city of Simonstown, which had previously been requested by the South African National Defense Forces. This equipment was ordered in 2018 by the arms procurement agency of the country’s Ministry of Defense.
Among other things, the supply of this equipment was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Ukrainian conflict. The South African authorities had no control over the choice of the ship that would deliver this equipment.
“The IC found no evidence that any weapons or equipment were loaded on the Lady R. The investigation only confirmed the fact of unloading and the lack of loading,” the members of the commission noted.
