AhlulBayt News Agency: The Red Berets moved the motion earlier this week that the National Assembly debate, as a matter of urgency, the NCACC’s failure to uphold domestic and international arms control obligations.
MP Carl Niehaus said the National Assembly should note the NCACC’s non-implementation of the end-user certificates for arms and ammunition produced by South African companies such as Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM).
“We condemn the export of South African arms to apartheid Israel – a state charged by South Africa with genocide at the International Court of Justice. We reject this complicity as a hypocritical betrayal of our heroic Struggle against apartheid and our human rights commitments,” Niehaus.
The call for the debate comes on the heels of a detailed letter from Niehaus to the Joint Standing Committee on Defence, in which he presented allegations regarding South Africa's non-compliance with international arms control commitments.
He had also sent two sets of questions to Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni on the matter.
