(Ret.) Col Chris Wyatt: SA in more “provocative” moves against the US

South Africa’s plan to conduct naval exercises with Russia and China in the same month it is hosting the G20 summit, has been slammed by US intelligence analyst retired Colonel Chris Wyatt. “This is intentional. This is provocative. This is meant to insult Donald Trump and the United States.” As for the visit of SA’s top SANDF general to Iran, Col Wyatt charges: “Quite frankly, I think he should be court-martialed for his actions because they were provocative.” Col Wyatt calls for the removal of “useless” Defence Minister Angie Motshekga. Also commenting on the mounting legal challenges being faced by MTN because of its relationship with Iran, Col Wyatt notes that its Chairman is Mcebisi Jonas, SA’s Special Envoy to the US, “the man who's never been to America, is a Special Envoy who…doesn't have a diplomatic visa and…hasn't been accredited because he's been rejected by the United States government because of his conduct”. He warns: “This case might be the thing that finally just leads to the US taking action against South Africa.”
