The National Freedom Party in Parliament says it strongly condemns President Cyril Ramaphosa's decision, to establish a commission of inquiry into the alleged supply of weapons to Russia.
NFP Parliamentary Leader, Ahmed Shaik-Emam says the inquiry will be a waste of taxpayers' money and will serve no purpose, but to satisfy the foreign powers.
Shaik-Emam says Ramaphosa's decision is misguided and lacks rationale.
This comes after US Ambassador, Reuben Brigety claimed that South Africa provided the ammunition through Russia's "Lady R" ship that docked at the Simon's Town naval base in Cape Town in December last year.
The International Relations and Cooperation Department claims that Brigety has since apologised unreservedly for his utterances.
