Hot on the heels of Blindspot releasing number 69, asking some questions on RDM export of artillery munitions to an undisclosed NATO country, Abbey Makoe, writes in the South African Sunday Independent, 6 June, that the Lady R probe should be expanded to include South African armaments and munitions sold to an undisclosed NATO client state.

For this we look at Abbey Makoe - Sunday Independent, 6 June, 2023:

“Already, US-SA relations are at their lowest in history, aggravated by SA’s non-aligned stance in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The US has failed to prevail over SA to take their side against Russia, much to Washington’s exasperation with Pretoria’s seeming stubbornness.

The threat of economic sanctions has thus far been bandied about, albeit in hushed tones. [ref reserve bank Financial Stability Review]

The Ramaphosa administration, I guess, must be certain of their innocence in the Lady R saga. I cannot find any logic in their pursuit of such a public enquiry that could have devastating consequences politically and economically.

I have earlier argued against the narrow terms of reference awarded to the Commission. As a self-declared non-aligned sovereign state, methinks the Ramaphosa administration should have extended to the terms of references to cover, among others, whether any of the Nato states has supplied SA-sourced weapons or military equipment to Ukraine without the requisite permission of SA.

There have been reports – hitherto unchallenged – that Estonia has supplied its batch of SA-purchased Mamba 4x4 Armoured Personnel Carrier vehicles to Ukraine as part of the US-led Nato appeal for the armament of the Kyiv’s Zelensky administration.
According to international law, an “End User Certificate (EUC) is required prior to the export, or re-export, of conventional arms, irrespective of origin.”

[Blindspot already covered this in number 38]

Estonia has had no permission from SA to re-export the Mambas to Ukraine. SA could never have granted such a permission as Pretoria’s stance is non-aligned in the conflict.
Yet, there has been no threat of consequences looming against Estonia, ostensibly insulated from reprisals by its Nato membership.

For example, last December Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM), a consortium that comprises SA’s arms’ manufacturer Denel, won a multimillion-euro contract to build an explosives factory in Hungary, a Nato state.

DefenceWeb reported that in terms of the deal – signed on December 15, 2022 – a new plant would be built this year and production expected to begin in the next few years.”

Billboards

Then we turn to billboards that suddenly sprang up around South Africa’s capital city Tshwane/Pretoria aka Snor City. These billboards call on Ramaphosa to arrest Putin. Of course this is part of the targeting of South Africa in the run-up to the BRICS Summit to take place late August (22-24), where, as of yet, indications are President Putin will attend in person.

Of course, as signatory to the Rome Statute, there is the ostensible responsibility to arrest the Russian President. Yet, in Blindspot 65, we covered a report by The Grayzone, arguing that the ICC arrest warrant, is based on research done by a Yale University outfit, funded by the US State Department, and is filled with fabrications and falsifications. Please go and watch no 65 of Blindspot for more on this.

These billboards claim to be funded by a US based NGO - AVAAZ. Well, NGO watch indicates that:
- Founded - 2007 by “Res Publica, a global civic advocacy group, and Moveon.org,” a George Soros-funded organization involved in ideological and political campaigns in the USA
- To empower “millions of people from all walks of life to take action on pressing global, regional and national issues, from corruption and poverty to conflict and climate change

But, from the Odysee platform, when one searches for Soros, Ukraine, some interesting things come up.

Before watching these, let’s reflect on the history of the 2014 Maidan uprising in Ukraine. In these clips we clearly see both Soros and Joe Biden indicate deep involvement in influencing political, policy, and even judicial appointments in Ukraine before the 2014 Maidan uprising, which also, of course, sparks the war in Ukraine’s east. Which Russia only officially entered in February 2022, after eight years of continuous war, and western involvement in the Ukraine’s political affairs.
