The meeting between USA Ambassador to South Africa @ReubenBrigety and @DIRCO_ZA took place this afternoon. We conveyed our displeasure with his conduct and he admitted that he crossed the line and apologised unreservedly. The relations between the USA & South Africa are cordial, strong and mutually beneficial. We reaffirmed our commitment to continue to work together for the benefit of the people of the two countries. There's a commitment to use established diplomatic channels to raise whatever issue may arise in the management of the bilateral relations between the two countries. Minister Naledi Pandor also spoke to her counterpart, Secretary @SecBlinken. As previously stated, the National Conventional Arms Control Committee has not approved any sale of arms to Russia related to the period and incident in question. The inquiry initiated by HE President Cyril Ramaphosa will be a platform to establish facts and role players in the incident in question. Anyone found to have broken the law will face consequences.
