A crisis is brewing within South Africa's defence force, as evidence surfaces suggesting a serious challenge to President Cyril Ramaphosa's authority. This video delves into the alleged defiance of army generals, a secret pact with Iran, and the deletion of crucial evidence by the SANDF.
Was President Ramaphosa undermined by his own military? We investigate the multinational naval drill 'Will for Peace' (Mosi III), and the controversial presence of Iranian warships amidst global condemnation. Discover the details of the planning conference in Shanghai, and the critical distinction between participating nations and observers.
Explore President Ramaphosa's intervention, a high-level meeting with Sydney Mufamadi, Defence Minister Angie Motshekga, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, and Ronald Lamola, and the direct order issued regarding Iran's participation. Was this order deliberately ignored? We examine the actions of the IRIS Naghdi, the closed-off parade at Simon's Town, and the stamping of Iranian sailors' passports.
Uncover the military's attempt at concealment, the deleted Facebook post, and the government's silence. What does the establishment of a Board of Inquiry truly mean? We analyze perspectives from military experts like Helmoed-Römer Heitman and Darren Olivier of the African Defence Review.
Who is responsible? Was Vice Admiral Monde Lobese the central figure, or does the responsibility lie higher up with General Rudzani Maphwanya? We delve into Maphwanya's controversial visit to Tehran and his remarks about strengthening military ties with Iran.
Explore the deeper issues of underfunding and resentment within the SANDF, and Vice Admiral Lobese's accusations against the National Treasury. What are the international implications, and how has the United States responded?
Chris Hattingh of the Democratic Alliance raises critical constitutional questions about civilian control of the military. We examine the broader context of South Africa's multiple crises, including the police service's struggle against criminal gangs, the national disaster due to severe flooding, and the struggling economy.
