Ramaphosa: No law was transgressed regarding Lady R but certain things could have been done better

PARLIAMENT - President Cyril Ramaphosa was in the National Council of Provinces on Thursday afternoon answering a range of questions.

The DA wanted to know more about the report on the docking of the Lady R cargo vessel at Simonstown Naval Base in December last year.

A probe was sparked after the US ambassador to South Africa Reuben Brigetty said in May, that he would bet his life on arms being loaded onto the Russian ship.
