South Africa's Diplomatic Struggle Amid Accusations of Arms Sales to Russia

South Africa is attempting to restore its relationship with the US after a diplomatic row over allegations of arms sales to Russia. The South African government has denied any approved arms sales to Russia and has set up an inquiry to investigate the claims. The US has provided no evidence to support the allegations, and South Africa has expressed disappointment over what it sees as "megaphone" politics by the US ambassador. The relationship between South Africa and the US may have economic implications for South Africa, which is already struggling with a weakened currency and rolling power cuts.
