from The best of POWER Talk · host POWER98.7

The military and navy were reportedly warned as far back as November not to include Iran in the recent Will for Peace naval exercises in Simon’s Town, Western Cape. Iran’s participation in the drills, which was led by China but hosted in SA, was heavily criticised amid that country’s clampdown on anti-government protesters. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with  Journalist, Dawie Boonzaaier and Defence Analyst, Ricardo Teixeira. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
