 The Russian ship, which is at the center of allegations that South Africa supplied arms to Russia last year, has been videoed by Reuters three times this year. The latest sighting of the South African vessel Lady R was on Friday. The ship was previously videoed on April 11 and April 28. The US ambassador to South Africa, Ruben Bridgety, said on Thursday Washington was confident a Russian vessel had uploaded weapons and ammunition from South Africa in December. The minister who chairs the country's National Conventional Arms Control Committee, Manly Gungyabil, told local radio station 702 on Friday that the country did not approve any arms shipment to Russia. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's office said on Thursday that his government would open an inquiry into the allegation of arms shipment to Russia.
