The Southern Africa Litigation Centre has accused South Africa's government of violating its own laws by approving arms sales to military juntas in several African countries and to nations implicated in human rights abuses. A new report highlights exports to Mali, Guinea, Gabon, Burkina Faso, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates despite legal prohibitions. This contradicts South Africa's commitments to peace and human rights.
